The Zombie of Basses is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.951 billion Bass Players are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.2%.

The powerhouse Bassesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,365 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,242 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy", private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basses's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Basses is ranked 259,877^th in the world and 156^th in Disney World for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.19 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
