The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer97 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.594 billion Printer97ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Printer97ian economy, worth 852 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,468 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are bankrupted by injuries to cousins they've never met, Printer97 recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer97's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer97 is ranked 260,057th in the world and 138th in Two for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 42.61 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
