The Disputed Territories of Card Demon 21 is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.392 billion Card Demon 21ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Demon 21ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion Souls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,572 Souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, the government will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Demon 21's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Card Demon 21 is ranked 71,613^th in the world and 260^th in The Underworld of Hell for Nicest Citizens, with 15.9 average smiles per day.
