The United States of Printer843 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.282 billion Printer843ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer843ian economy, worth 743 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,713 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, group hugs break out during floor votes, and the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer843's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer843 is ranked 15,807^th in the world and 813^th in Two for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
