The Republic of Card Farming Nations is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Cardy with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 975 million Card Farming Nationsians 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 government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Environment, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Card Bank. The average income tax rate is 56.0%.

The Card Farming Nationsian economy, worth 56.7 trillion Loewentalers a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,115 Loewentalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors refer to inner-cities as newbie zones, women who display their ankles are shunned by society, indigenous tribal elders can be recognised by their designer watches and expensive suits, and morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Farming Nations's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Card Farming Nations is ranked 216,139^th in the world and 39^th in The Cat Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
