The Queendom of Code047 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.051 billion Code047ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Defense, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 11.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Code047ian economy, worth 332 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,079 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, nighttime sightings of raccoons sporting Circle-A patches and bandanna masks are on the rise, eight-year-olds with lemonade stands have been known to be locked up on charges of embezzlement, and doctors refer to inner-cities as newbie zones. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Code047's national animal is the black widow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Code047 is ranked 295,566^th in the world and 2^nd in 420 for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
