The Queendom of 747 Land is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The 747 with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.519 billion 747 Landians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Everett. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 747 Landian economy, worth 192 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 126,515 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, and advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 747 Land's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is 747ism.

747 Land is ranked 104,352nd in the world and 16th in Byzantion for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,096.95 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
