The Principality of Mombourg is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Head Mom with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 6.564 billion Mombourgians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mombourg City. The average income tax rate is 84.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mombourgian economy, worth 639 trillion Francs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 97,398 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, traditional vegetarians are fuming over the introduction of vat-grown meat to the menu, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mombourg's national animal is the Red lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mombourg is ranked 237,205^th in the world and 1,187^th in Europe for Most Secular, with 14.04 Atheism Rate.
