The United States of Printer540 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ritual sacrifices, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.923 billion Printer540ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer540ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,141 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 164,856 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, music teachers are commonly seen busking in order to fund their music programs, heartbroken parents are urged to "smile for the camera", and bizarre-looking creatures called 'legendarydogs' dominate wildlife preserves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer540's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer540 is ranked 54,522nd in the world and 2,226th in Two for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,039.26 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
