The Republic of Mambo 41 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and otherworldly petting zoo. The cynical, devout population of 1.175 billion Mambo 41ians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mambo 41ian economy, worth 92.1 trillion Izerns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 78,342 Izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push, a law degree is required before telling people not to drink and drive, the fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, and a major religion has been named as Mambo 41's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 41's national animal is the Izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 41 is ranked 72,649th in the world and 396th in Izern for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
