The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer7 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.522 billion Printer7ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer7ian economy, worth 847 trillion cards a year, is dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,439 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 448,258 per year while the poor average 41,477, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.
Foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, and private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer7's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer7 is ranked 23,880th in the world and 1,771st in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
