The Colony of 9590 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 1.26 billion 9590ians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 32.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient 9590ian economy, worth 41.0 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,525 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Disgruntled jocks are forced to play tetris for entertainment, the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, saying the word 'eggplant' is now a criminal offense, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of 9590 City. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 9590's national animal is the giraffe.

9590 is ranked 119,859^th in the world and 6,435^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 13.62 average smiles per day.
