The United States of Printer798 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, complete lack of prisons, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.672 billion Printer798ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer798ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,117 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 167,503 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government seems embarrassed to be seen governing, dissidents are commonly labelled as baby-killers, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, and human resources employees have time for hobbies as harassment is designated "high praise". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer798's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer798 is ranked 205,726^th in the world and 1,994^th in Two for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 480.14 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
