The Republic of Anshul 7 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, humorless population of 1.637 billion Anshul 7ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.2%.

The powerhouse Anshul 7ian economy, worth 163 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, 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 99,584 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 372,449 per year while the poor average 18,641, a ratio of 20.0 to 1.

Teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Anshul 7's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Anshul 7 is ranked 136,888^th in the world and 34^th in Srivastava for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,332.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
