The Oops I did It Again (¬ ― ¬) of CSBs Other Cards is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Cardi B with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 2.553 billion Cardigans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Healthcare, Administration, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cardiff City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Cardigan economy, worth 418 trillion Credit Cards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 163,922 Credit Cards, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,139,957 per year while the poor average 8,209, a ratio of 138 to 1.
Atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, ad hoc militias patrol the streets in an effort to control rampant crime, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, and hammering a nail into a wall is an effective death sentence. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. CSBs Other Cards's national animal is the Cardinal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.
CSBs Other Cards is ranked 215,903rd in the world and 1,281st in Europe for Largest Governments, scoring 10.15 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
