The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer601 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, disturbing lack of elderly people, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.953 billion Printer601ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer601ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,159 trillion cards a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 166,784 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, and citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Leader is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer601's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer601 is ranked 106,307^th in the world and 2,395^th in Two for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 945.07 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
