The Armed Republic of 90047 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.334 billion 90047ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 34.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 90047ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,728 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 impressive 167,244 9003s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing numbers of children in 90047 have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, a speech a day keeps climate change away, and oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90047's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

90047 is ranked 26,790th in the world and 1st in What on earth is this4 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
