The Zombie Enclave of Blight-Bane is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Insatiable with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.563 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, with Defense and Education also on the agenda, 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 2.3%.
The frighteningly efficient undead economy, worth a remarkable 3,018 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 Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 182,273 pickled brains, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,092,658 per year while the poor average 13,783, a ratio of 79.3 to 1.
Crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', the tenet of free speech is held dear, and calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Blight-Bane's national animal is the zombie bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Contagious Zombism.
Blight-Bane is ranked 293,530th in the world and 5th in The Zombie Factory for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
