The Empire of 90061 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.429 billion 90061ians 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, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 83.5%.
The frighteningly efficient 90061ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,904 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,639 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
It's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90061's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
90061 is ranked 191,582nd in the world and 1st in What on earth is this18 for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 361.89 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
