The Principality of Cardmania900111 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings, disturbing lack of elderly people, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.802 billion Cardmania900111ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900111ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,118 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 196,133 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Cardmania900111ian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage, and a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania900111's national animal is the Scorpion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cardmania900111 is ranked 116,777th in the world and 107th in Lily for Most Stationary, with 320.079309038 days.
