The Principality of Mombourg is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Head Mom with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 5.346 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 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mombourgian economy, worth 533 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 99,754 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military funding has been stripped back, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and popular candidates who don't suffer last-second political scandals tend to get fished out of the Mombourg City River. 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 31,144^th in the world and 423^rd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 214.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
