The Rogue Nation of Cardmania90098 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.061 billion Cardmania90098ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90098ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,121 trillion Euros a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 191,802 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, and powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania90098's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardmania90098 is ranked 6,932^nd in the world and 83^rd in Lily for Most Corrupt Governments, with 188.95 kickbacks per hour.
