The Principality of Mombourg is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Head Mom with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 5.268 billion Mombourgians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

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 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mombourgian economy, worth 531 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 100,884 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, military funding has been stripped back, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. 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 11,245^th in the world and 221^st in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,478.09 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
