The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer79 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.646 billion Printer79ians 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 Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 79.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer79ian economy, worth 905 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 160,344 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Few that venture into government archives are ever seen again, children as young as eight can be found working in factories, subscribing to the Benevolence Society for Impoverished Leaders is an effective way to dodge the draft, and the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer79's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer79 is ranked 276,977th in the world and 1,796th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 33.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
