The Theocracy of 90055 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.478 billion 90055ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.1%.

The frighteningly efficient 90055ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,857 trillion 9003s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 177,254 9003s, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90055's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

90055 is ranked 280,932nd in the world and 1st in What on earth is this12 for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5.48 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
