The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer174 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.439 billion Printer174ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 88.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Printer174ian economy, worth 815 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 149,859 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million cards of property damage, books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, and after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer174's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer174 is ranked 16,199th in the world and 863rd in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
