The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer39 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, infamous sell-swords, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.776 billion Printer39ians 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 Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer39ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,061 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,649 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Many believe that Leader's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, and citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer39's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer39 is ranked 22,076^th in the world and 1,603^rd in Two for Highest Average Incomes, with 156,649.51 Standard Monetary Units.
