7) ..=390,0625= squ of(5*5*79)
Spoiler below countdown:
30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
Inside (...) on each line are the prime factorizations of successive multiples of 5: the 'next Census' reference suggests that these are also census years in New Zealand. As 'squ of' suggests, inside =...= are the squares of these numbers, but written with a comma after the 10,000's digit instead of in the usual position.
If the next census year is 2005, the corresponding line would read
13) ..=402,0025= squ of(5*401)
