The Republic of Mambo 237 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 512 million Mambo 237ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 51.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mambo 237ian economy, worth 26.2 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,154 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 237's national animal is the izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 237 is ranked 71,410^th in the world and 352^nd in Izern for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,428.31 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
