The Democratic States of 90056 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.261 billion 90056ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 90056ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,999 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, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 194,902 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, and war criminals are given full state funerals. 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 139,556th in the world and 1st in What on earth is this13 for Most Stationary, with 212.0995864784 days.
