The Commonwealth of 90059 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.428 billion 90059ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient 90059ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,973 trillion 9003s a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 189,261 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of 90059ian Embarrassments, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, the last thing 90059ian soldiers hear before charging into battle is a preacher trying to convert them, and the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 90059's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
90059 is ranked 261,526th in the world and 1st in What on earth is this16 for Most Beautiful Environments, with 151.76 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
