The Incorporated States of Seven Clouds is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, avant-garde cinema, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.327 billion Seven Cloudsians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Seven Cloudsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,414 trillion gold coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 147,888 gold coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 600,832 per year while the poor average 24,198, a ratio of 24.8 to 1.

Children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, morality classes are compulsory for all school students, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seven Clouds's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Melchizedek Order.

Seven Clouds is ranked 319,209^th in the world and 11^th in Ancient for Nicest Citizens, with 0.43 average smiles per day.
