The United Kingdom of 90018 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, disturbing lack of elderly people, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.721 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, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.7%.

The frighteningly efficient 90018ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,932 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. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,262 9003s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 649,526 per year while the poor average 35,773, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. 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 271,196th in the world and 1st in United patriots for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.72 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
