The Fiefdom of Cardmania90070 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, digital currency, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.041 billion Cardmania90070ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90070ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,343 trillion Credits 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 212,211 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.
