The Republic of Codex Gigas is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning giraffe population. The hard-working population of 9.782 billion Codex Gigasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The Codex Gigasian economy, worth 452 trillion francs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 46,235 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codex Gigas's national animal is the giraffe.

Codex Gigas is ranked 195,138^th in the world and 2,927^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
