The Republic of Codename22 is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and compulsory gun ownership. The quiet, industrious population of 16.332 billion Codename22ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 39.9%.

The thriving Codename22ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,093 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,957 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, and whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Codename22ian Embarrassments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codename22's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Codename22 is ranked 28,275^th in the world and 2^nd in Rejected Cards for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,739.93 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
