The Federation of Card Demon 255 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.992 billion Card Demon 255ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Demon 255ian economy, worth 660 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. 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 132,234 Souls, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, the Card Demon 255ian government is the world's largest NGO, and the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Demon 255's national animal is the Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Card Demon 255 is ranked 25,319th in the world and 328th in The Underworld of Hell for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 29,770.86 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
