The United States of Printer979 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.926 billion Printer979ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Printer979ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,251 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,703 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, the country has unplugged its internet connection to prevent subversive content, and ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer979's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Printer979 is ranked 13,791st in the world and 1,302nd in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 98.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
