The Queendom of Code247 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.883 billion Code247ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.3%.

The strong Code247ian economy, worth 230 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 59,397 yen, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,152 per year while the poor average 4,905, a ratio of 70.0 to 1.

The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, and Code247 has designated Code247 City as its capital city. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Code247's national animal is the Klaxosaur, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Code247 is ranked 218,825th in the world and 233rd in The Peoples Republic Of Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.74 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
