The UPC of Card Clone 081 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.019 billion Card Clone 081ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Card Clone 081ian economy, worth 672 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,735 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Pro-democracy protesters are shot on sight by state police, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and air purifiers fight smoke machines on Card Clone 081ian stage setups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Clone 081's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
