The United States of Printer889 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, zero percent divorce rate, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.405 billion Printer889ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer889ian economy, worth 730 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,178 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and garbage bags floating down the river are churned up by man-made rapids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer889's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer889 is ranked 97,660^th in the world and 1,998^th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.41 billion capita.
