The United Socialist States of Cardmania90021 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.045 billion Cardmania90021ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90021ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,572 trillion 422s a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 232,920 422s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 706,150 per year while the poor average 59,743, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, and middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania90021's national animal is the 42, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cardmania90021 is ranked 79,344^th in the world and 21^st in Lily for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,767.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
