The Free Dwarf Hamster Union of Zamboa is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Hammy McFluff with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.668 billion Zamboans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Little Rodentia. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zamboan economy, worth 669 trillion Hamster Food Pellets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,330 Hamster Food Pellets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, nobody is forced to join the armed forces, recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size, and time flies when you're not having fun. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zamboa's national animal is the Dwarf Hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fluffianity.

Zamboa is ranked 8,976^th in the world and 170^th in the Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 120 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
