The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer773 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.672 billion Printer773ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer773ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,244 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,526 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 600,895 per year while the poor average 43,821, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.
Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, and an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer773's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Printer773 is ranked 63,676th in the world and 633rd in Two for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,271.2 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
