The Multiplication of 6 x 7 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.734 billion 6 x 7ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 6 x 7ian economy, worth 675 trillion Altairian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 100,320 Altairian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, one-word headlines are the norm in 6 x 7ian newspapers, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, and the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 6 x 7's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

6 x 7 is ranked 265,612^th in the world and 43^rd in Regionless for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.53 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
