The Disputed Territories of Cardmania900115 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.857 billion Cardmania900115ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900115ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,106 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 194,009 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and you're only as old as you feel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania900115's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardmania900115 is ranked 12,853rd in the world and 29th in Lily for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
