The Society of Card Gardens is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Giovanniland with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 8.605 billion Gardeners have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of World Collection Center. The average income tax rate is 55.2%.

The all-consuming Gardener economy, worth 752 trillion Cards a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,431 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Gardens Dung" has been declared a national treasure, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Gardens's national animal is the Gardens, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Card Farming.

Card Gardens is ranked 36,790th in the world and 13th in Card Gardens for Most Stationary, with 1,237.43682609548 days.
