The                              of 90016 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.677 billion 90016ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 82.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 90016ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,113 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 326,153 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90016's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

90016 is ranked 310,614th in the world and 3rd in Covenant Shores for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.04 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
