The Queendom of Code088 is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.156 billion Code088ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.1%.

The Code088ian economy, worth 455 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 49,714 yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom.

Code088's national animal is the Klaxosaur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
