The Queendom of Code159 is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.182 billion Code159ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Code159ian economy, worth 541 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,969 yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Code159's national animal is the Klaxosaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Code159 is ranked 72,567^th in the world and 18^th in The Peoples Republic Of Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
