The Confederacy of Cardmania9004 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.924 billion Cardmania9004ians 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 Industry, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania9004ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,076 trillion Monies a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 190,052 Monies, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, news editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Leader tend to disappear, and military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania9004's national animal is the Zebra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardmania9004 is ranked 152,047th in the world and 2nd in The Southern Alliance for Most Stationary, with 152.23457618092 days.
