The United States of Printer540 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.742 billion Printer540ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer540ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,115 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 165,393 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.
Schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, even secular Printer540ians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", the newest shade developed by Printer540's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', and the local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer540's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
