Mambo 101

The Republic of Mambo 101 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, enslaved workforce, and frequent executions. The devout population of 821 million Mambo 101ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.8%.

The thriving Mambo 101ian economy, worth 61.2 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,602 currencies, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,798 per year while the poor average 16,454, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

The saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, and schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 101's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 101 is ranked 243,454th in the world and 796th in Izern for Highest Poor Incomes, with 16,454.58 Standard Monetary Units.
