The People's Republic of Cardisdia1 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ubiquitous missile silos, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.451 billion Cardisdia1ians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cardisdia1ian economy, worth 426 trillion pesos 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 123,535 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, and rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million pesos of property damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardisdia1's national animal is the bat or the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cardisdia1 is ranked 280,792^nd in the world and 59^th in Cardisdia for Safest, scoring 6.53 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
