The Federation of Cardmania90054 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.044 billion Cardmania90054ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania90054ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,381 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 215,674 Yen, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 860,554 per year while the poor average 36,363, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.

Skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, the environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, and a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania90054's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardmania90054 is ranked 282,382nd in the world and 135th in Lily for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.04 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
