The Principality of 90045 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, daily referendums, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.514 billion 90045ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 79.0%.

The frighteningly efficient 90045ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,257 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 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 amazing 214,728 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, workers have seized control of the economy, and colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90045's national animal is the 9003, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

90045 is ranked 173,460^th in the world and 5^th in What on earth is this2 for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
