The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer40 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, disturbing lack of elderly people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.819 billion Printer40ians 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 Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer40ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,240 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 181,848 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks, and cooking with water and baking soda is considered patent infringement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer40's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer40 is ranked 14,805^th in the world and 490^th in Two for Highest Average Incomes, with 181,848.21 Standard Monetary Units.
