The Republic of Panzer Vor 47 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 2.511 billion Panzer Vor 47ians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Panzer Vor 47ian economy, worth 148 trillion pesos 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 59,064 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Panzer Vor 47's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Panzer Vor 47 is ranked 72,807^th in the world and 1,857^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 24.04 kickbacks per hour.
