The Nation formally by the name of 9003 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Zombie Goblin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, aversion to nipples, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.614 billion public filth 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angband. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Slave to the man economy, worth a remarkable 5,659 trillion gold bars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 288,542 gold bars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,582,252 per year while the poor average 26,796, a ratio of 59.0 to 1.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity, Slave to the man farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic, and nuclear reactors are held together with party string and Hubba Bubba. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. 9003's national animal is the human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is 9002ism.

9003 is ranked 247,880^th in the world and 9,686^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 0.79 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
