The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer719 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its closed borders, otherworldly petting zoo, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.463 billion Printer719ians 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, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer719ian economy, worth 752 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,727 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 429,220 per year while the poor average 33,955, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

The inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', and schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer719's national animal is the legendary, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Printer719 is ranked 268,474th in the world and 582nd in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 39.33 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
