The Protectorate of 90067 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.914 billion 90067ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.1%.

The frighteningly efficient 90067ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,490 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 amazing 209,078 9003s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 740,072 per year while the poor average 42,647, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, gambling is outlawed, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 90067's national animal is the 9003, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

90067 is ranked 6,380th in the world and 285th in Home Sweet 9003 for Largest Black Market, with 1,136 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
