The United States of Printer991 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and deadly medical pandemics. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.399 billion Printer991ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer991ian economy, worth 743 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,723 cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Coat closets are being re-branded as bedrooms, many citizens refuse to smile lest they reveal their gold fillings, student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer991's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
