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.

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.
