The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer212 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.08 billion Printer212ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer212ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,024 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,683 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Printer212 as a reminder of their "special relationship", and Printer212ian-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer212's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer212 is ranked 121,809th in the world and 2,559th in Two for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,129.66 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
