The United states of Codiak is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vozinha with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.362 billion Codiakians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Praia. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Codiakian economy, worth 347 trillion Cape Verdean escudoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,971 Cape Verdean escudoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one, the Codiakian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, smoking is banned in public areas, and designer truncheons are the latest law enforcement fashion craze. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codiak's national animal is the Corintiano, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is lebre.

Codiak is ranked 68,771^st in the world and 19^th in Union Brazilian for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,708.57 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
