The Dominion of Seven by Nine

“You Must Comply”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dominion of Seven by Nine is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Imperious Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 37.461 billion drones 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bright Defile. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Seven by Ninean economy, worth an astonishing 22,732 trillion imperial credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 606,837 imperial credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,311,049 per year while the poor average 110,364, a ratio of 20.9 to 1.

Pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute, politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and first-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Seven by Nine's national animal is the tribble, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the cult of forty two.

Seven by Nine is ranked 286,065^th in the world and 1^st in Beyond the Wub for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -23.87 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
