The Republic of Pony 47 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its smutty television, public floggings, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 5.204 billion Pony 47ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.1%.

The thriving Pony 47ian economy, worth 465 trillion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,533 Bits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,384 per year while the poor average 16,877, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

The nation's best artists are considered pretty easy to beat, every day's an auto-de-fé day, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pony 47's national animal is the Pony, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pony 47 is ranked 230,027^th in the world and 714^th in Sunset Shimmer for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
