The Infinite fortune of 777 is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 8.909 billion Lucky bastards are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish a Lucky bastard economy, worth 309 trillion Chips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 34,700 Chips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleazy politicians exploit the Parliamentary Code of Conduct to purge their rivals, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 777's national animal is the Gambler, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

777 is ranked 15,247th in the world and 5th in Regionless for Safest, scoring 115.78 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
