The Armed Republic of Cardmania90056 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.732 billion Cardmania90056ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90056ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,130 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 245,875 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania90056's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Cardmania90056 is ranked 345,850th in the world and 500th in Home Sweet 9003 for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -23.05 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
