The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer748 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.321 billion Printer748ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Printer748ian economy, worth 812 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,722 cards, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
Artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, children are raised bilingual from an early age, government agents are triangulating the position of the rainbow's end for the purposes of gold acquisition, and schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer748's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Printer748 is ranked 16,233rd in the world and 868th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
