The Emirate of 90013 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.601 billion 90013ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 83.8%.

The frighteningly efficient 90013ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,154 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 203,264 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90013's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

90013 is ranked 103,352nd in the world and 2,422nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,681.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
