The Federal Democratic Empire of Codyn is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hufus I with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 10.013 billion Codynianos 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Codyberg. The average income tax rate is 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Codyniano economy, worth a remarkable 1,896 trillion Platinum Beeses a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 189,409 Platinum Beeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation continues to depend on foreigners for food, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, oilmen are in the business of greasing people's palms, and newspaper headlines proclaim something happened somewhere at a time. Crime is relatively low. Codyn's national animal is the Capivara, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Codyn is ranked 9,193^rd in the world and 14^th in Portugal for Nicest Citizens, with 33.11 average smiles per day.
