The Armed Republic of 90047 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.441 billion 90047ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.7%.
The all-consuming 90047ian economy, worth 773 trillion 9003s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 120,068 9003s, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.
Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, the government is reining in public spending, euthanasia is legal, and old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90047's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
90047 is ranked 251,051st in the world and 250th in Big Farma for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -22 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
