This is a world which sets limits on it's population, either by birth control or by "the Lottery", where the more money, you take out of it, the higher the chance of winning the death sentence, unlimited credit to spend on whatever they want in the time before their scheduled "making way" (sometime after the Lottery Ball) and $5'000'000 to go to their beneficiary's, 500 million live on that world, resources are more plentiful and public cars are available for those who are able to drive them, there's no crime and no poverty.
The reason for this is the people of that world took the Reverend Thomas Malthus more seriously all those years before when he told them that humanity would be condemned to eternal misery because the population would increase faster than the food supply.
It is not without trouble as the "right to lifers" (some of which are nobel prize winners and philosophers) believe that the lottery is immoral, those who attempt to stop people "making way" are arrested and taken to "make way" with pain (e.g. an execution).
