The Knights Commander VII of Zulu Seven is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 20.329 billion Zulu Sevenians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The minute, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with Spirituality and Welfare not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Steel Fortress. The average income tax rate is 6.6%.

The strong Zulu Sevenian economy, worth 999 trillion Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,156 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), and fruit vendors are encouraging a life of crime in their advertising. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Zulu Seven's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zulu Seven is ranked 195,508^th in the world and 4^th in Knights Regional HQ for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
