The United States of Printer544 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.472 billion Printer544ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer544ian economy, worth 891 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 162,886 cards, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, woodcutter axes are cited as the most common cause of death amongst legendaries, and public parks are on the upswing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer544's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer544 is ranked 96,665^th in the world and 1,751^st in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.47 billion capita.
