The Republic of Codename38 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.041 billion Codename38ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Codename38ian economy, worth 702 trillion lire a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,609 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, calling dibs is an unalienable right, and customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Codename38's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Codename38 is ranked 219,156^th in the world and 4,614^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Primitive, scoring -95.81 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
