The Free Land of Cardmania900149 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, fear of technology, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.85 billion Cardmania900149ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900149ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,880 trillion Euros 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. 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 173,278 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
Economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, and it is illegal to liberate slaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania900149's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Cardmania900149 is ranked 14,515th in the world and 39th in Lily for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
