The Republic of Codename55 is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 16.241 billion Codename55ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Codename55ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,043 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 64,225 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, and cities in Codename55 declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codename55's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Codename55 is ranked 139,232^nd in the world and 715^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,852.1 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
