The Dominion of Seven by Nine is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Imperious Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 37.438 billion drones are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bright Defile. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Seven by Ninean economy, worth an astonishing 22,714 trillion imperial credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 606,715 imperial credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,314,977 per year while the poor average 110,007, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the military patrols the streets in search of possible secessionists, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, and bilingual drones are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Seven by Nine's national animal is the tribble, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the cult of forty two.

Seven by Nine is ranked 291,043rd in the world and 1st in Beyond the Wub for Safest, scoring 2.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
