The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer271 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare.

Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 180,880 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

School history books often refer to Leader as "that imperialist pig dog", the children of Printer271 are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, motorbike jousters live young and die fast, and advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer271's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
