The Principality of Cardmania9006 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.192 billion Cardmania9006ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania9006ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,274 trillion Deneroes a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 203,216 Deneroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 720,594 per year while the poor average 41,339, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Every week is blindness awareness week, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania9006's national animal is the ardvarke, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cardmania9006 is ranked 20,458^th in the world and 2^nd in League of Sovereigns for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 276.6 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
