The Fiefdom of 90020 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.564 billion 90020ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.5%.

The frighteningly efficient 90020ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,934 trillion 9003s a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 183,101 9003s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 642,456 per year while the poor average 37,855, a ratio of 17.0 to 1.

Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 90020's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

90020 is ranked 144,719th in the world and 1st in Disney for Highest Food Quality, scoring 16.12 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
