The Republic of Pablo7 is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.019 billion Pablo7ians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.8%.

The strong Pablo7ian economy, worth 69.8 trillion 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 68,455 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 225,230 per year while the poor average 15,590, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, the nation's skies are now a wasteland, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Tiger Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pablo7's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pablo7 is ranked 22,179th in the world and 8th in Pablo for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,444.12 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
