The Republic of Mambo 31 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, devout population of 1.172 billion Mambo 31ians 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, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Mambo 31ian economy, worth 103 trillion Izerns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,380 Izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Mambo 31 successfully hosted the Izern Olympics, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Mambo 31, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 31's national animal is the Izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 31 is ranked 301,484^th in the world and 691^st in Izern for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -10.96 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
