The Incorporated States of Cardmania90024 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its closed borders, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.971 billion Cardmania90024ians 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 frighteningly efficient Cardmania90024ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,709 trillion Platinums a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 246,947 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, and parents receive hefty fines for telling kids to eat their vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania90024's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
