The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer128 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.516 billion Printer128ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer128ian economy, worth 842 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 152,766 cards, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 572,018 per year while the poor average 28,543, a ratio of 20.0 to 1.

Teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, immigrants are told to pull themselves up by their worn-out budget bootstraps, and farm turkeys are given high doses of antidepressants to take their minds off the holiday season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer128's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer128 is ranked 249,648th in the world and 1,458th in Two for Most Primitive, scoring -151.04 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
