The Constitutional Monarchy of Card2036 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.044 billion Card2036ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 33.7%.

The all-consuming Card2036ian economy, worth 354 trillion Akakas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,382 Akakas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card2036's national animal is the Nie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Card2036 is ranked 32,049^th in the world and 1,379^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,024.97 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
