The Republic of Partybus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Doctor Macgilicutty with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, strictly enforced bedtime, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 33.752 billion Pranksters enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snoddyville. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Partybusian economy, worth a remarkable 5,237 trillion buds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Gambling. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,162 buds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees her shadow, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, and international humanitarian organisations are applauding the government for ending the death penalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Partybus's national animal is the Fruit Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Partybus is ranked 44,013th in the world and 958th in Lazarus for Highest Drug Use, scoring 295.97 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
