The Republic of Kodinsk is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, disturbing lack of elderly people, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 907 million Kodinskians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kodinskian economy, worth 65.5 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,260 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Kodinsk flights to avoid the pay lavatories, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, and modesty is treated with the side-eye. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kodinsk's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kodinsk is ranked 98,136^th in the world and 820^th in Novaya Zemlya for Highest Average Incomes, with 72,260.09 Standard Monetary Units.
