The Federation of Card Demon 51 is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.393 billion Card Demon 51ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Demon 51ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,292 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. 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 154,016 Souls, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Glamping Card Demon 51ians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, Leader isn't a national brand, and discarded pennies litter the streets. 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 51's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Card Demon 51 is ranked 274,670th in the world and 357th in The Underworld of Hell for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
