The Matriarchy of 90016 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its closed borders, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.343 billion 90016ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.1%.

The frighteningly efficient 90016ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,258 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, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, 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 amazing 218,387 9003s, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, and only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. 90016's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

90016 is ranked 41,391st in the world and 1st in Animalia for Most Stationary, with 1,079.306253688 days.
