The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer3 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.55 billion Printer3ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer3ian economy, worth 877 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 158,129 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, a bureaucratic fight over PIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer3's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer3 is ranked 18,213^th in the world and 752^nd in Two for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,251.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
