The Allied States of Cardmania90039 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.873 billion Cardmania90039ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90039ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,280 trillion Yen a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales.
