The United States of Cardmania900128 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.918 billion Cardmania900128ians 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 Industry, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900128ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,522 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,450 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cardmania900128's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cardmania900128 is ranked 58,744^th in the world and 47^th in Lily for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,995.3 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
