The United States of CardFarmer01487375 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its lack of airports, ritual sacrifices, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.684 billion Card Farmers 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CardFarmopolis. The average income tax rate is 15.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Card Farmer economy, worth a remarkable 2,200 trillion deniers 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 188,375 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Motherland's muscle-bound athletes won 786 medals at the last United CardoTerraFormation Games, military funding has been stripped back, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, and Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. CardFarmer01487375's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CardFarmer01487375 is ranked 35,352nd in the world and 9th in CardoTerraFormation for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,105.58 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
