Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic States of Cardmania90090 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.089 billion Cardmania90090ians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90090ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,453 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and 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 amazing 221,289 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Leader, and the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Cardmania90090's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardmania90090 is ranked 20,540^th in the world and 77^th in Lily for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 275.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
