The Democratic States of Cardmania900131 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its digital currency, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.866 billion Cardmania900131ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900131ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,191 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 201,665 Euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 930,444 per year while the poor average 26,420, a ratio of 35.2 to 1.

The overhead luggage compartment is often full, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania900131's national animal is the Vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cardmania900131 is ranked 25,151^st in the world and 97^th in Lily for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
