The Seven of -7- is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Severus VII with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 25.006 billion -7-ians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Se7en. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong -7-ian economy, worth 900 trillion Se7ens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,994 Se7ens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Military funding has been stripped back, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, -7- has designated Se7en as its capital city, and Sir Severus VII has just been declared ruler of -7- in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -7-'s national animal is the spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sevenism.

-7- is ranked 138,832^nd in the world and 1^st in Golden Triangle for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
