The City of Bustleburg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mayor Bromley Kakisto with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 14.588 billion Bustleburgers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burnsvale District. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bustleburgian economy, worth a remarkable 2,986 trillion Double Extra Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 204,696 Double Extra Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 701,066 per year while the poor average 43,903, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Interest in globalism never flags, janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon, and blasphemers and government critics often die in very unusual and unlikely accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bustleburg's national animal is the pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Pious Rivalry.

Bustleburg is ranked 24,237^th in the world and 685^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89 law-abiding acts per hour.
