The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer173 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.063 billion Printer173ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer173ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,044 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,929 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Concert pianists lie about their occupation to avoid ridicule, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, government employees cannot vote for the policies they have to implement, and grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer173's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer173 is ranked 7,215^th in the world and 907^th in Two for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 11,077.47 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
