The Incorporated States of Seven Clouds is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.262 billion Seven Cloudsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Seven Cloudsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,395 trillion gold coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 147,309 gold coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 586,608 per year while the poor average 24,918, a ratio of 23.5 to 1.

Mesopotamia moves with the times, massive new slaughterhouses are being hailed as a sign of progress, girl scouts are forced to bake their own cookies, and children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seven Clouds's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Melchizedek Order.

Seven Clouds is ranked 68,389^th in the world and 5^th in Ancient for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,592.99 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
