The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer177 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.545 billion Printer177ians 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer177ian economy, worth 729 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 131,484 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Racehorses move a lot slower these days, owners of man-portable particle accelerator backpacks are advised not to cross the streams, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, and citizens who don't follow a major religion are closely monitored for signs of self-harm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer177's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer177 is ranked 21,598^th in the world and 1,338^th in Two for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,726.1 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
