The United Kingdom of 90018 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.618 billion 90018ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.5%.

The frighteningly efficient 90018ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,899 trillion 9003s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 178,892 9003s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 690,457 per year while the poor average 31,842, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

A weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and endangered species are effective hostages against the 90018ian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90018's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

90018 is ranked 8,637th in the world and 1st in United patriots for Lowest Crime Rates, with 103.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
