The Democratic States of 90040 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 10.286 billion 90040ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.8%.
The frighteningly efficient 90040ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,738 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 168,997 9003s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 604,596 per year while the poor average 33,911, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.
Freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, and teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90040's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
90040 is ranked 104,492nd in the world and 1,991st in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 409.2336964236 days.
