The Republic of Chip 7 is a very large, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 449 million Chip 7ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 8.7%.

The strong Chip 7ian economy, worth 20.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 45,327 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, devotion to God is only skin-deep, and the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Chip 7's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Chip 7 is ranked 273,116^th in the world and 14,706^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
