The Republic of Djas47 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.836 billion Djas47ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 44.8%.

The very strong Djas47ian economy, worth 264 trillion djas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,843 djas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Windows in Djas47 City don't have much of a view, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, the new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Djas47's national animal is the djas, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Djas47 is ranked 162,927^th in the world and 2^nd in Dark Sun World for Smartest Citizens, with 28.26 quips per hour.
