The Colony of Cardmania9007 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.079 billion Cardmania9007ians 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, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania9007ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,593 trillion Deneroes a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 234,107 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

You need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, the police double as repo men, and forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cardmania9007's national animal is the ardvarke, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cardmania9007 is ranked 73,384th in the world and 2nd in Shurima for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 47,992.11 Standard Monetary Units.
