The Republic of Boeing 727 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Dan Cooper with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, disturbing lack of elderly people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 11.762 billion Boeingers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seattle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Boeingan economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion negotiable Americans a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,763 negotiable Americans, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and warning signs caution Boeingers where they may fall off 'the edge of the world'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boeing 727's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is hijacking.

Boeing 727 is ranked 21,823^rd in the world and 1^st in Sockpuppet Paradise for Largest Black Market, with 137 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
