The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer229 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 7.18 billion Printer229ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer229ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,301 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 181,254 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 605,286 per year while the poor average 40,378, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.
The populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, it is said that a Printer229ian woman's work is never done, the government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, and the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer229's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Printer229 is ranked 19,932nd in the world and 2,075th in Two for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 80.42 Effective Tax Rate.
