The Principality of Codrenia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, lack of airports, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 855 million Codrenians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.2%.

The Codrenian economy, worth 38.2 trillion Grosh Florin and Ducats a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,628 Grosh Florin and Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Leakers release information by etching graffiti on bathroom stalls, many in Codrenia are born in the purple, biology and religious education classes have recently been merged, and a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codrenia's national animal is the Sokol Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Codrenia is ranked 294^th in the world and 9^th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 20,789.24 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
