The Queendom of Code042 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.835 billion Code042ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Code042ian economy, worth 157 trillion yen 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 32,618 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Code042's national animal is the black widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Code042 is ranked 168,083^rd in the world and 6^th in Somewhere Out There for Most Primitive, scoring -64.03 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
