The Queendom of Cardmania90047 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its closed borders, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.985 billion Cardmania90047ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90047ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,174 trillion Yen a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 197,994 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, the Cardmania90047 City Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania90047's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Cardmania90047 is ranked 11,965th in the world and 24th in Lily for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
