The Colony of Zural 7 is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 645 million Zural 7ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.0%.

The powerhouse Zural 7ian economy, worth 53.0 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 82,236 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 261,153 per year while the poor average 19,729, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Zural 7ians struggle to cut steak with a spoon, illegal immigration remains a hot topic, coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk, and imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zural 7's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zural 7 is ranked 327,269th in the world and 15th in Zona for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
