The Republic of Mambo 138 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and lack of airports. The compassionate population of 534 million Mambo 138ians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 41.3%.

The strong Mambo 138ian economy, worth 25.9 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,541 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, throwing garbage out of your house's front window makes it legally someone else's problem, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 138's national animal is the izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 138 is ranked 176,725^th in the world and 755^th in Izern for Highest Average Incomes, with 48,541.09 Standard Monetary Units.
