The Queendom of Code168 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.139 billion Code168ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.9%.
The very strong Code168ian economy, worth 581 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 63,593 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,059 per year while the poor average 13,709, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.
Homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and Leader's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Code168's national animal is the Klaxosaur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Code168 is ranked 257,151st in the world and 98th in The Peoples Republic Of Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 13,709.95 Standard Monetary Units.
