The Republic of CSBs Other Cards is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.11 billion CSBs Other Cardsians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The frighteningly efficient CSBs Other Cardsian economy, worth 138 trillion Cards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 124,750 Cards, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 777,074 per year while the poor average 8,564, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, scientific progress marches ever forward with the first ever launch of a cheeseburger into space, no one tells their son "you're the man of the house" any more, and the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. CSBs Other Cards's national animal is the Card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CSBs Other Cards is ranked 54,681^st in the world and 605^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 137.01 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
