The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer614 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.47 billion Printer614ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer614ian economy, worth 758 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,741 cards, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

What goes down must come up, millions of simultaneously backfiring toilets have flooded Printer614 City with effluent, gun-wielding criminals always wear appropriate eye and ear protection, and one can walk from one side of Printer614 City to the other without setting foot on Printer614ian soil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer614's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer614 is ranked 276,233rd in the world and 1,730th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 33.85 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
