The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer724 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.475 billion Printer724ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.3%.

Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 169,673 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, the Printer724ian Intelligence Agency relies on rumour and guidebooks to know what is happening overseas, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, and the Farmer's Almanac is the most popular college textbook. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer724's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
