The United States of Printer447 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, disturbing lack of elderly people, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.717 billion Printer447ians 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 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer447ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,068 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 159,051 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

There are fifty shades of yellow in outdoor swimming pools, small shoes often wash up on the beach, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", and descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer447's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer447 is ranked 276,745^th in the world and 1,948^th in Two for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 14,791.77 Standard Monetary Units.
