The Oppressed Peoples of Cardmania900126 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.992 billion Cardmania900126ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900126ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,248 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 204,536 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
