The Emirate of Card Demon 291 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its national health service, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.42 billion Card Demon 291ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Demon 291ian economy, worth 659 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, 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 149,246 Souls, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, and when their backs are against the walls Card Demon 291ians look out for gay men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Demon 291's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Card Demon 291 is ranked 46,515^th in the world and 380^th in The Underworld of Hell for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,059.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
