The Republic of Kodiak Legate is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.681 billion Kodiak Legateans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Kodiak Legatean economy, worth 497 trillion Florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 57,253 Florins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 369,006 per year while the poor average 3,589, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kodiak Legate's national animal is the Kodiak bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kodiak Legate is ranked 112,637^th in the world and 5,595^th in Lazarus for Largest Black Market, with 2.07 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
