The UPC of Centrist Card Farm 050 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.267 billion Centrist Card Farm 050ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Centrist Card Farm 050ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,194 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 164,323 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Leader, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, and brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Centrist Card Farm 050's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Centrist Card Farm 050 is ranked 13,530th in the world and 147th in Memeland United for Most Corrupt Governments, with 129.53 kickbacks per hour.
