The Legion of Seventy is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and unlimited-speed roads. The quiet, industrious population of 14.277 billion Seventyians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Seventyian economy, worth 690 trillion seventies 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 48,376 seventies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Police are arresting costumed characters at comic book conventions, the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', and candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seventy's national animal is the number, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Seventy is ranked 226,623rd in the world and 3rd in Alliance of Empires for Most Stationary, with 26.7592189852 days.
