The Queendom of Code097 is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, avant-garde cinema, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 9.172 billion Code097ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Code097ian economy, worth 454 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,601 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Black tea is only available on the black market, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", and elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Code097's national animal is the Klaxosaur.

Code097 is ranked 59,644^th in the world and 6^th in thundria for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
