The United States of Printer916 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, devotion to social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.353 billion Printer916ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer916ian economy, worth 784 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 146,498 cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.
The people's love for Leader is little more than self-preservation, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer916's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer916 is ranked 98,508th in the world and 2,161st in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.35 billion capita.
