The United States of Printer867 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, daily referendums, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.375 billion Printer867ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer867ian economy, worth 846 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,466 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.
The nation's new flagship trading company deals exclusively in things no one wants, the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Printer867" on tails, a Two Tourist Association survey has rated Printer867 #1 for number twos, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer867's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer867 is ranked 98,153rd in the world and 2,117th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.38 billion capita.
