The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer649 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.395 billion Printer649ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer649ian economy, worth 870 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant 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 161,293 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 553,361 per year while the poor average 34,505, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Armoured pyjamas are in fashion amongst the nation's nobility, human resources employees have time for hobbies as harassment is designated "high praise", televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and the Printer649 Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer649's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer649 is ranked 97,826^th in the world and 2,034^th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.39 billion capita.
