The United States of Printer564 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.455 billion Printer564ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer564ian economy, worth 760 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 139,399 cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, charity distribution sites are regularly raided by the police, companies flee the nation rather than pay their fair share of taxes, and AI citizens are criticized for being robotic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer564's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Printer564 is ranked 272,099th in the world and 1,026th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 37.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
