The Melodious Zombie Chant of Ah Sham-lakalaka is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Zombie Steve with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 28.406 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 17.9%.

The powerhouse Ah Sham-lakalakan economy, worth a remarkable 2,603 trillion pence a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 91,650 pence, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 291,509 per year while the poor average 21,937, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 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 4,972^nd in the world and 1^st in The Sweet Ubiquity for Fattest Citizens, with 26.34 Obesity Rate.
