The Multiplication of 1 x 42 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The devout population of 6.627 billion 1 x 42ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient 1 x 42ian economy, worth 809 trillion Altairian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 122,098 Altairian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government is spending billions of taxpayer Altairian Dollars to support "struggling" industries, strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1 x 42's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

1 x 42 is ranked 31,853^rd in the world and 9^th in Regionless for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
