The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer159 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.785 billion Printer159ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer159ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,004 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,051 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government is lending a hand to private industry, senior literature classes are left analysing why Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is so darn sunny, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer159's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer159 is ranked 295,193rd in the world and 2,615th in Two for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 8,142.83 Standard Monetary Units.
