The Simpsons' Springfield may be horrible, but here's an invitation to explore a far more dreadful community. Welcome to the City of Bustleburg, a dying American metropolis where the mayor has cheated to win the last eleven elections and where vampires running the chemical plant violate every known pollution ordinance in hopes of blotting out the sun. The local televangelist takes credit for hurricanes and earthquakes through prayer attacks, and Bustleburg's only pro sport is extreme croquet. Did we mention the fire department has been on strike since World War II? Prominent citizens of Bustleburg include mafia don, Boss Vostic, who buries his victims in the only part of town where trees are legal, ditzy social climber Mauve Mertz whose fashion fiasco might get her kicked out of town, and Queen Zina, the mystical wife of the mayor and possibly the source of all the city¿s woes. You'll never enjoy misery so much as your visit to Bustleburg.
