The United States of Printer433 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.407 billion Printer433ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer433ian economy, worth 803 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 148,682 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 461,214 per year while the poor average 36,903, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

Millions of simultaneously backfiring toilets have flooded Printer433 City with effluent, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, and a third of Printer433ians are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer433's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer433 is ranked 32,310^th in the world and 2,143^rd in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
