The Republic of Cardmaster3 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.96 billion Cardmaster3ians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Cardmaster3ian economy, worth 130 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,434 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Cardmaster3ians, AI management double books government press conferences, politicians are fired for opening subjective statements with "I believe", and babies living in poverty are told to take responsibility for their own fortunes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmaster3's national animal is the sheep, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardmaster3 is ranked 109,652^nd in the world and 6^th in Aivatkhan Realm for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 764.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
