The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer131 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.583 billion Printer131ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer131ian economy, worth 823 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 147,529 cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Printer131ians any less frightened, citizens have never heard foreign radio, artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer131's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer131 is ranked 274,464^th in the world and 1,398^th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 35.23 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
