The Republic of Da 77 is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 863 million Da 77ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 27.0%.
The Da 77ian economy, worth 33.0 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,192 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
The 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Da 77's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Da 77 is ranked 159,222nd in the world and 9,952nd in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,452.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
