The Principality of 90071 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.347 billion 90071ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient 90071ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,003 trillion 9003s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 193,669 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90071's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
90071 is ranked 28,264th in the world and 1st in What on earth is this28 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
