The Republic of Code004 is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 10.122 billion Code004ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 41.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Code004ian economy, worth 362 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,804 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, Code004ians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and the dartboard at the Code004ian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Code004's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Code004 is ranked 293,769^th in the world and 1,291^st in Artificial Solar System for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 144.81 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
