The Way of Seven Samurai is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kambei Shimada with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 25.621 billion wandering warriors are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Village of Farmers. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish wandering warrior economy, worth 784 trillion small meals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 30,600 small meals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, the government is forced to pander to the will of every fruitcake politician, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, and the nation's Medal of Honour can be found as a free toy in breakfast cereal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seven Samurai's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Seven Samurai is ranked 107,664^th in the world and 2^nd in Genesis Defense Project for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,678.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
