The United States of Printer513 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.92 billion Printer513ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer513ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,278 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 184,747 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 525,195 per year while the poor average 51,880, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.
Teen parties are often ruined by wet blanket chaperones, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, and the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer513's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer513 is ranked 3,907th in the world and 327th in Two for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 13,652.45 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
