The God-Awful Place to Live In of Cards VII is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.969 billion loyal servants 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minitrue. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Leader's servant economy, worth 102 trillion pesos 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 51,839 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant, the justice of Cards VII is considered superior to that of other nations, and cute fluffy little Leaders are increasingly popular exotic pets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cards VII's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Cult of Leader.

Cards VII is ranked 302,651st in the world and 12,665th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 34 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
