The United States of Printer952 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.265 billion Printer952ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Printer952ian economy, worth 732 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,213 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The fate of the world literally rests on Leader's fingers, there is a law against "filthy foreign food", any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and wounded veterans can only get prosthetics if they agree to become walking billboards for the arms industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer952's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Printer952 is ranked 195,817th in the world and 2,261st in Two for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
