The United States of Printer875 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.413 billion Printer875ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Printer875ian economy, worth 815 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 150,597 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
New mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, Printer875 has been greatly criticised for its isolationist policies, and giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer875's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer875 is ranked 210,295th in the world and 1,294th in Two for Safest, scoring 33.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
