The Cyan-Depleted Cartridges of Printer104 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, parental licensing program, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.349 billion Printer104ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 82.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Printer104ian economy, worth 760 trillion cards a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,217 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Large-girthed charity workers assign themselves healthy wages for their work with starving children, the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop, and teenagers sit around on their butts all day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Printer104's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Printer104 is ranked 92,286th in the world and 842nd in Two for Most Stationary, with 496.63761270728 days.
