The Republic of Mambo 102 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 1.041 billion Mambo 102ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mambo 102ian economy, worth 84.6 trillion currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 81,279 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", and the studies of art and philosophy are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 102's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mambo 102 is ranked 101,417^th in the world and 233^rd in Izern for Smartest Citizens, with 36.36 quips per hour.
