The Grand Duchy of Cardmania90019 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.07 billion Cardmania90019ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90019ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,817 trillion 422s a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,193 422s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 472,114 per year while the poor average 45,382, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.
Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, churches across the land are hurriedly installing auto-tune for their choirs, and political commentators say that Leader's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania90019's national animal is the 42, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Cardmania90019 is ranked 267,142nd in the world and 80th in Lily for Most Primitive, scoring -222.82 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
