The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer237 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.561 billion Printer237ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 82.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer237ian economy, worth 875 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,458 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, and citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory miniature radios. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer237's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer237 is ranked 255,097th in the world and 2,368th in Two for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -7.07 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
