The Rogue Nation of Card Demon 67 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 8.231 billion Card Demon 67ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Card Demon 67ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,226 trillion Souls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,034 Souls, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Internet sites are legally unable to stop their users from posting pornography, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, and oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds. 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 67's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Card Demon 67 is ranked 320,783rd in the world and 631st in The Underworld of Hell for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.55 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
