The Federal Republic of Lion447 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, parental licensing program, and compulsory gun ownership. The cynical population of 500 million Lion447ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.8%.
The thriving Lion447ian economy, worth 42.7 trillion catnips a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,408 catnips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
The Lion447 City Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Lion447ian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, an exhibition on Meowing Cats memes is currently starring at the National Art Gallery, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lion447's national animal is the Meowing Cats, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Lion447 is ranked 152,672nd in the world and 598th in Concord for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,761.58 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
