The Free Land of Card Demon 126 is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.041 billion Card Demon 126ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Demon 126ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,256 trillion Souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 156,222 Souls, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Card Demon 126ian Liberator", Leader isn't a national brand, there's a hole in the heart of every Card Demon 126ian city, and exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Demon 126's national animal is the Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Card Demon 126 is ranked 45,947th in the world and 327th in The Underworld of Hell for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 48.45 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
