The People's Republic of 90058 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, compulsory military service, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 10.362 billion 90058ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 80.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 90058ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,889 trillion 9003s a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 182,395 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90058's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

90058 is ranked 27,340th in the world and 1st in What on earth is this15 for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,342.95 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
