The Melodious Zombie Chant of Ah Sham-lakalaka is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Zombie Steve with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.139 billion Ah Sham-lakalakaites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Education and Environment not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.1%.

The powerhouse Ah Sham-lakalakan economy, worth a remarkable 1,922 trillion pence a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 83,063 pence, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 241,957 per year while the poor average 22,545, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Ah Sham-lakalakan restaurants, the government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, and Ah Sham-lakalakan novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Zombie Steve. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ah Sham-lakalaka's national animal is the dodo bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is hoo doo.

Ah Sham-lakalaka is ranked 6,529th in the world and 2nd in The Sweet Ubiquity for Most Stationary, with 2,881.12925329832 days.
