The BB Puppet of Lower Brightonburg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Louise the Zero with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 28.018 billion Lower Brightonburgians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lower Brightonburg City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The powerhouse Lower Brightonburgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,969 trillion Magics a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 70,306 Magics, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 229,440 per year while the poor average 16,206, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, Louise the Zero has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation. Crime is a problem. Lower Brightonburg's national animal is the Death Pug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lower Brightonburg is ranked 268,660th in the world and 9th in MineKhan Origin Nations for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -9.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
