The United States of Printer374 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.531 billion Printer374ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer374ian economy, worth 845 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 152,955 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 463,019 per year while the poor average 39,316, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, few that venture into government archives are ever seen again, police and sick people alike fear the Day of Rest as all institutions are forced to shut down, and polite commuters on the Printer374 City Metro always let hurried workers off the train first. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer374's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer374 is ranked 95,650^th in the world and 1,554^th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.53 billion capita.
