The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer28 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.605 billion Printer28ians 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, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer28ian economy, worth 725 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 129,420 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, politicians have been known to swim in pools filled with cards, one can walk from one side of Printer28 City to the other without setting foot on Printer28ian soil, and savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer28's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer28 is ranked 94,622nd in the world and 1,290th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.61 billion capita.
