The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer242 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.797 billion Printer242ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 90.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer242ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,126 trillion cards a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,736 cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Titles of nobility are packaged with Printer242ian citizenship in invite-only auctions, a bureaucratic fight over PIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations, the nation refuses to provide international aid, and advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Leader's most personal functions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer242's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer242 is ranked 14,526^th in the world and 2,469^th in Two for Nudest, with 905 cheeks per square mile.
