The Completely Blameless City of Bustleburg is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Mayor Bromley Kakisto with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 18.315 billion Bustleburgers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burnsvale District. The average income tax rate is 20.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bustleburgian economy, worth a remarkable 4,140 trillion Double Extra Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 226,054 Double Extra Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Oranges have been renamed to avoid trademark infringement, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, journalists listen to the money talk, and dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Bustleburgian citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bustleburg's national animal is the pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Pious Rivalry.

Bustleburg is ranked 33,700^th in the world and 1^st in Misfit Empire for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,175.77 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
