The UPC of Centrist Card Farm 152 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.912 billion Centrist Card Farm 152ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 18.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Centrist Card Farm 152ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,138 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 164,709 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Centrist Card Farm 152's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Centrist Card Farm 152 is ranked 121,556th in the world and 705th in Memeland United for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
