The Zombie Matriarchy of Rushtaria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Zombie Rune Venus with an iron fist, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, digital currency, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.584 billion Zombies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Overtaken By Zombies. The average income tax rate is 75.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Rushtarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,709 trillion brains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,637 brains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's train stations are widely considered to be the ugliest in Osiris, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around City Overtaken By Zombies, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Rushtaria to be bombproof, and firebombing politicians' offices has become a common way of expressing dissatisfaction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rushtaria's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hoarding.

Rushtaria is ranked 31,696^th in the world and 1,732^nd in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,493.55 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
