The Protectorate of Cardmania900146 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.017 billion Cardmania900146ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900146ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,902 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 172,687 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Cardmania900146 to be bombproof, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania900146's national animal is the Vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cardmania900146 is ranked 285,885th in the world and 164th in Lily for Safest, scoring 5.09 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
