The Republic of Mambo 33 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.265 billion Mambo 33ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mambo 33ian economy, worth 100 trillion Izerns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,215 Izerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children's TV shows are having a gay old time, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 33's national animal is the Izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 33 is ranked 262,606^th in the world and 526^th in Izern for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.03 percentage of bribes refused.
