The Principality of Cardmania900171 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, flagrant waste-dumping, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.923 billion Cardmania900171ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Cardmania900171ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,937 trillion Yen a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,416 Yen, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 669,314 per year while the poor average 32,756, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

The government is reining in public spending, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cardmania900171's national animal is the Spider, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cardmania900171 is ranked 20,255^th in the world and 72^nd in Lily for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 277.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
