The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer5 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, daily referendums, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.603 billion Printer5ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer5ian economy, worth 814 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 145,342 cards, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.
One can walk from one side of Printer5 City to the other without setting foot on Printer5ian soil, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, Leader's reputation is hard as nails, and the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer5's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer5 is ranked 94,658th in the world and 1,296th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.60 billion capita.
