The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer138 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.894 billion Printer138ians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer138ian economy, worth 994 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 144,216 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 479,209 per year while the poor average 32,366, a ratio of 14.8 to 1.

Kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, only a minority of the population can actually vote at elections, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, and repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer138's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer138 is ranked 309,535^th in the world and 2,624^th in Two for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -9.76 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
