The Democratic Republic of 90017 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.579 billion 90017ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 90017ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,349 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 222,089 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice, Harry Potter books are banned, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into 90017ian as 'your finger, you fool', and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90017's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

90017 is ranked 6,354^th in the world and 1^st in Bohemian rhapsody for Most Corrupt Governments, with 197.97 kickbacks per hour.
