The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer743 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.47 billion Printer743ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 85.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer743ian economy, worth 736 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 134,640 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, all recreational drugs are legal, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and it is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer743's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer743 is ranked 275,488th in the world and 1,581st in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 34.54 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
