The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer269 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.569 billion Printer269ians 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 83.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer269ian economy, worth 910 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 163,537 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, the government has certified several glow-in-the-dark athletes as drug free, there are no more heroes any more, and the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer269's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer269 is ranked 280,706^th in the world and 2,560^th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 27.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
