The UPC of Card clone 004 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.157 billion Card clone 004ians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Administration, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 42.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Card clone 004ian economy, worth 800 trillion Cards 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, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 130,010 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, and no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card clone 004's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Card clone 004 is ranked 145,861st in the world and 353rd in Memeland United for Most Stationary, with 178.25389286188 days.
