The Republic of Mambo 37 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.063 billion Mambo 37ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mambo 37ian economy, worth 63.1 trillion Izerns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,382 Izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cities in Mambo 37 declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Leader, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 37's national animal is the Izern, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mambo 37 is ranked 130,041^st in the world and 601^st in Izern for Highest Average Incomes, with 59,382.18 Standard Monetary Units.
