The Constitutional Monarchy of Card2036 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.114 billion Card2036ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 34.2%.

The all-consuming Card2036ian economy, worth 363 trillion Akakas 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. 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 116,615 Akakas, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, women across the country are tying the knot, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and women no longer need to pepper conversations with incessant references to fictitious husbands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card2036's national animal is the Nie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Card2036 is ranked 47,648^th in the world and 2,953^rd in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 154.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
