The Republic of Card Farmer 407 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, ritual sacrifices, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.397 billion Card Farmer 407ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Card Farmer 407ian economy, worth 545 trillion cards a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,093 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,839 per year while the poor average 34,161, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.
The government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, stale 'yo mamma' insults have been replaced by 'your maternal DNA' insults, millions of devastated 7-year-olds are denied astronaut and ballerina training, and criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Farmer 407's national animal is the farming, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Card Farmer 407 is ranked 102,307th in the world and 1,630th in Birb for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,836.76 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
