The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer189 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.61 billion Printer189ians 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, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer189ian economy, worth 775 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,264 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, the government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, and most people suffer from some form of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer189's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer189 is ranked 94,534^th in the world and 1,271^st in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.61 billion capita.
