The United States of Printer830 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.42 billion Printer830ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Printer830ian economy, worth 718 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,558 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, the government struggles to keep up with the endless list of petrol disasters, and costumed characters wearing Maxtopian Grass leaves remind citizens that the government now sells the green stuff. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer830's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer830 is ranked 143,436th in the world and 342nd in Two for Safest, scoring 61.7 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
