The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer74 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 5.603 billion Printer74ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 81.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer74ian economy, worth 907 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 162,002 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-card mansions, Leader's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, the Printer74 City XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle, and those who cut young children are told to cut it out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer74's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer74 is ranked 275,625th in the world and 1,633rd in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 34.19 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
