The Republic of 70SQN is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 4.402 billion 70SQNians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 57.6%.

The all-consuming 70SQNian economy, worth 392 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,148 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

People unhook their phones at night to escape a never-ending barrage of phone calls, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and the disabled are forced to undergo an MRI scan every time they pick up their benefit payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 70SQN's national animal is the Winged Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

70SQN is ranked 189,636th in the world and 7,932nd in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.93 kickbacks per hour.
