The International Gateway of The City of Long Beach is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Robert Garcia with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, zero percent divorce rate, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.661 billion Long Beachers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 411 W Ocean Blvd Long Beach. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Long Beach economy, worth 504 trillion US Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,791 US Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, the nation's drinking water tends to glow green at night, young criminals are told they'll go to bed without supper if they do it again, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The City of Long Beach's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Los Angeles County.

The City of Long Beach is ranked 290,008^th in the world and 94^th in The Cities of Southern California for Lowest Crime Rates, with 31.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
