The Republic of Codename8 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.013 billion Codename8ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. The average income tax rate is 51.3%.

The strong Codename8ian economy, worth 579 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,649 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

All children's clothes come in only cream and off-white to prevent offense, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, and the navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codename8's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Codename8 is ranked 110,524^th in the world and 895^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
