The UPC of Card clone 039 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.114 billion Card clone 039ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Card clone 039ian economy, worth 739 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,882 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, women across the country are tying the knot, and children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card clone 039's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Card clone 039 is ranked 145,896th in the world and 388th in Memeland United for Most Stationary, with 178.25250397388 days.
