The Emirate of Card Bou 175 is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.072 billion Card Bou 175ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Card Bou 175ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,278 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,378 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The urinary fragrance of seedier establishments is thankfully hidden by the smell of stale smoke, school football matches are usually five-a-side, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, and law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Bou 175's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Card Bou 175 is ranked 305,894^th in the world and 870^th in Holmond Holdings for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
