The Zombie Enclave of Blight-Bane is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Insatiable with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.843 billion peckish zombies live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense and Education are also considered important, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Morgue. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.6%.

The frighteningly efficient undead economy, worth a remarkable 4,111 trillion pickled brains a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 188,225 pickled brains, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 572,376 per year while the poor average 48,070, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, the latest government policy passed by a close shave, and the government has implemented minimum wage laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Blight-Bane's national animal is the zombie horde, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Contagious Zombism.

Blight-Bane is ranked 331,377th in the world and 2nd in The Zombie Factory for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -20 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
