The Republic of Alpinist 7 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The humorless, devout population of 20.235 billion Alpinist 7ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.8%.

The thriving Alpinist 7ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,522 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,243 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpinist 7's national animal is the swordfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Alpinist 7 is ranked 76,544^th in the world and 2^nd in Alps for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
