The Disgusting Purulence of Pus for Brains is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bub with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.953 billion Pus Heads enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhodes Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The powerhouse zombified economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion infected brains a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 85,492 infected brains, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 549,814 per year while the poor average 5,391, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, Pus for Brains's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, and a chain of pubs that cater solely to children has recently been unveiled. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pus for Brains's national animal is the tasty brain, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zombism.

Pus for Brains is ranked 292,132^nd in the world and 3^rd in The Zombie Factory for Lowest Crime Rates, with 10.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
