The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer636 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.479 billion Printer636ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer636ian economy, worth 789 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 144,063 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year, the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, and every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer636's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer636 is ranked 275,715^th in the world and 1,656^th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 34.19 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
