The Republic of 900144 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.708 billion 900144ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.1%.
The frighteningly efficient 900144ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,278 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,868 9003s, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.
Prison is a nightmare, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, polygamy is legal, and a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 900144's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
900144 is ranked 62,037th in the world and 40th in Big Farma for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,714.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
