The United States of Printer802 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.359 billion Printer802ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Printer802ian economy, worth 828 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,534 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
The government's policy is 'all pain, no grain', the local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, human resources employees have time for hobbies as harassment is designated "high praise", and the government finds the idea of having an army to be rather distasteful. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer802's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Printer802 is ranked 98,396th in the world and 2,148th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.36 billion capita.
