The Democratic States of 90056 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.468 billion 90056ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 90056ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,998 trillion 9003s a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 190,937 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90056's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

90056 is ranked 284,271st in the world and 2nd in What on earth is this13 for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.14 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
