The UPC of Centrist Card Farm 020 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.171 billion Centrist Card Farm 020ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Centrist Card Farm 020ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,320 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 184,141 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, witches' brews set off Geiger counters, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and builders across Centrist Card Farm 020 are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Centrist Card Farm 020's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Centrist Card Farm 020 is ranked 13,238th in the world and 13th in Memeland United for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
