The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer150 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.588 billion Printer150ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer150ian economy, worth 734 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,418 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 373,594 per year while the poor average 36,904, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Companies balk at paying their workers, factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity, replacement organs are grown in vats, and a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer150's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer150 is ranked 268,988th in the world and 644th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 38.94 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
