The Republic of Card Puppet 7 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, ban on automobiles, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.325 billion Card Puppet 7ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Puppet 7ian economy, worth 160 trillion marks a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Gambling, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,013 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,962 per year while the poor average 33,180, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

It is firmly believed that cameras steal souls, a signed affidavit from a prominent anti-corruption advocate declares that she is in fact a crook after all, prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers, and the monarchy has adopted absolute primogeniture. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Card Puppet 7's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Card Puppet 7 is ranked 184,413^th in the world and 6,351^st in the South Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -6 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
