The Republic of Card2008 is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.073 billion Card2008ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.0%.
The Card2008ian economy, worth 68.0 trillion Wefyw78s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,417 Wefyw78s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 260,819 per year while the poor average 10,166, a ratio of 25.7 to 1.
Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, retired racing Weiufhiw9gs are served truffles for breakfast, and Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card2008's national animal is the Weiufhiw9g, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Card2008 is ranked 89,766th in the world and 167th in Lily for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 91.44 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
