The Theocracy of Cardmania900101 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.618 billion Cardmania900101ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900101ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,908 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 230,498 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 728,520 per year while the poor average 55,681, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.
