The Principality of 90045 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.515 billion 90045ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.5%.

The frighteningly efficient 90045ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,027 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. 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 157,725 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90045's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

90045 is ranked 250,328^th in the world and 248^th in Big Farma for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -21 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
