The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer51 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.625 billion Printer51ians 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 89.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer51ian economy, worth 882 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 156,967 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, this summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer51's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer51 is ranked 279,028th in the world and 2,398th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 30.33 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
