The Republic of Card Island is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The cynical, devout population of 6.743 billion Card Islandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Card Islandian economy, worth 887 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,657 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Card Island's national animal is the Sand Pancake Lizard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Card Island is ranked 127,289th in the world and 320th in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Stationary, with 266.06085055428 days.
