The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer198 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, triple-decker prams, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.63 billion Printer198ians 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 Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 158,284 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolyard sandboxes resemble ashtrays due to the large number of cigarette butts, cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles, the government's policy is 'all pain, no grain', and savvy nightclub-goers know that structurally unsound venues sell the cheapest drinks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer198's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer198 is ranked 274,084^th in the world and 1,257^th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 35.95 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
