The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer121 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.165 billion Printer121ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer121ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,238 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 172,839 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 569,602 per year while the poor average 39,268, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.
Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, both criminals and civilians are DOA, vaccinations are mandatory, and when people want to start a family the government helps them planet carefully. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer121's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer121 is ranked 105,097th in the world and 2,233rd in Two for Smartest Citizens, with 35.17 quips per hour.
