The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer261 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.624 billion Printer261ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer261ian economy, worth 771 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 137,222 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Water fights now end with thousands dead, the latest "must-have" uPhone is 1/4 mm thinner than last year's uPhone, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, and Printer261 City's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer261's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer261 is ranked 30,260th in the world and 403rd in Two for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 218.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
