The United States of Printer976 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.847 billion Printer976ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer976ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,319 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 192,734 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 547,900 per year while the poor average 54,123, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

People believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, Printer976ians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, and army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer976's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
