The Mountainous Flat Country of 7 Trees is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Michelle Butcher with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.545 billion 7 Treesians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tree City. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 7 Treesian economy, worth 208 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 135,188 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government funds large training centres to turn Black Eagles into functioning members of society, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and religious terrorism is considered to be an Act of God by insurance companies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 7 Trees's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

7 Trees is ranked 18,427^th in the world and 460^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 293.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
