The Disputed Territories of Cardmania900116 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 10.844 billion Cardmania900116ians 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 Administration, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 71.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900116ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,396 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 amazing 220,984 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The daily weather forecast often predicts light showers of debris, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, and coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania900116's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardmania900116 is ranked 27,305th in the world and 107th in Lily for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
