The Armed Republic of CR 7 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.678 billion CR 7ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.8%.

The frighteningly efficient CR 7ian economy, worth 809 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 142,515 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 406,291 per year while the poor average 39,863, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, all fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon, a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, and street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CR 7's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CR 7 is ranked 13,847th in the world and 567th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
