The Epic Collection of Trading Cards is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Trading Card Collector with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 15.557 billion Trading Cardsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trading Cards Store. The average income tax rate is 16.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trading Cardsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,116 trillion trading cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 136,053 trading cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, vaccinations are mandatory, the media seems excessively interested in what The Trading Card Collector is wearing this season, and volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Trading Cards has found 1 easter egg). Crime is totally unknown. Trading Cards's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Trading Cards.

Trading Cards is ranked 59,393^rd in the world and 10^th in Trading Cards for Most Corrupt Governments, with 30.96 kickbacks per hour.
