The Republic of Cardcaptor 4 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.164 billion Cardcaptor 4ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Cardcaptor 4ian economy, worth 595 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,995 cards, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,707 per year while the poor average 11,883, a ratio of 20.8 to 1.

Children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, churches across the land are hurriedly installing auto-tune for their choirs, and fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers. Crime is well under control. Cardcaptor 4's national animal is the Cerberus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cardcaptor 4 is ranked 254,495^th in the world and 25^th in Libertatem for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.74 kickbacks per hour.
