The Republic of Zombie Belle is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Zombie Belle with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 14.33 billion Zombies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Villeneuve. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.8%.

The powerhouse Zombie economy, worth a remarkable 1,035 trillion brains a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 72,271 brains, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, the natural world is burning as the government adds hot sauce, APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, and in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho). Crime is a problem. Zombie Belle's national animal is the Zombie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The cult of Zombie Belle.

Zombie Belle is ranked 272,406^th in the world and 16^th in Zombieland for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
