The                              of 90017 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.769 billion 90017ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 74.7%.

The frighteningly efficient 90017ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,025 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 318,722 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, and former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90017's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

90017 is ranked 26,089^th in the world and 1^st in Roman Empire for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 74.7 Effective Tax Rate.
