The United States of Printer870 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.426 billion Printer870ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer870ian economy, worth 762 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,512 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, rare steaks seem even bluer now, the backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer870's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer870 is ranked 97,346^th in the world and 1,934^th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.43 billion capita.
