The Republic of 7 Minute Drill is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 236 million 7 Minute Drillians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.6%.

The sizeable but inefficient 7 Minute Drillian economy, worth 9.53 trillion 808s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,372 808s, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, only those who apply can study applied maths, and law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 7 Minute Drill's national animal is the rapper, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

7 Minute Drill is ranked 249,362nd in the world and 79th in Cole World for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.43 percentage of bribes refused.
