The Protectorate of Common7 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Arif Alv with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.665 billion Common7ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Islamabad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Common7ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,468 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,886 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government's weapons are a hug and a gun, it's a jungle out there, politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, and scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common7's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Muslim.

Common7 is ranked 50,471^st in the world and 8^th in Common Storage for Longest Average Lifespans, with 83.68 years.
