The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer620 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.501 billion Printer620ians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer620ian economy, worth 662 trillion cards a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 120,428 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 342,836 per year while the poor average 33,751, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

It is customary to begin the summer with a fasting ritual in which people eat nothing but kumquat smoothies, human resources employees have time for hobbies as harassment is designated "high praise", factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity, and all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer620's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer620 is ranked 274,045th in the world and 1,337th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 35.59 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
