“Mama knows best, dear”

The Nekomimi Hivemind of The Children of Mama is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Mama with an iron fist, and renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, cynical population of 984 million 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Nucleus. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Tourism.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over The Children of Mama, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and a nation-wide cull of pedobears is in effect. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Children of Mama's national animal is the pedobear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the favor.

The Children of Mama is ranked 1314th in the region and 38,450th in the world for Best Weather.
