The Non-Stop Incinerator of Card Cleaver is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, digital currency, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 788 million Card Cleavers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bardcoard. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cleavage economy, worth 71.9 trillion card scaps a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,270 card scaps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, children prefer to begin their day with push-ups rather than breakfast, and prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Cleaver's national animal is the paper tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Card Cleaver is ranked 27,465^th in the world and 6^th in Trading Cards for Highest Food Quality, scoring 80.23 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
