The People's Republic of Mambwessa is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Kazalimwa' Ka'anamele with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.858 billion Mambwessans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tagur. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The powerhouse Mambwessan economy, worth 680 trillion Mawas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 116,148 Mawas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A light facial coating of soot is seen as the mark of an honest and hardworking man, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambwessa's national animal is the Mazekele Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mambwessa is ranked 18,206^th in the world and 1^st in Amyong for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 53.38 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
