The United States of Printer962 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.334 billion Printer962ians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer962ian economy, worth 775 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,295 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, skateparks can be found in every city, and the Great Printer962ian Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer962's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer962 is ranked 15,217^th in the world and 1,230^th in Two for Most Corrupt Governments, with 120.87 kickbacks per hour.
