The United States of Printer983 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, infamous sell-swords, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.392 billion Printer983ians 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 Education. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer983ian economy, worth 739 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 137,123 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and murderers and thieves claim divine inspiration to avoid prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer983's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer983 is ranked 97,880^th in the world and 2,045^th in Two for Largest Populations, with 5.39 billion capita.
