The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer129 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.176 billion Printer129ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Printer129ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,243 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 173,278 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, flamethrower-toting soldiers are also equipped with fire blankets and extinguishers, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer129's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer129 is ranked 79,182nd in the world and 1,208th in Two for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,599.06 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
