8000000+400000+60000+2000+100+90+3 because I'm very boring

A googolplex
Most effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

By definition, 10 to the power of a googol (where a googol is 10100), so 1010100. If we use the ^ character for powers, it's 10^(10^100). It's quite large.

Something a bit smaller: 2,187
Hint: there's a way to write this with only two characters.

EDIT. Bump. Is anyone still interested in this?

I had to mess around with a calculator for a while* to get this one: it's 37.

Here's another one with a two character expression possible:

40320



*Probably not for seven years, but I'm refusing to either confirm or deny.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...
