The Republic of Mambo 68 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, state-planned economy, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The compassionate, devout population of 1.177 billion Mambo 68ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mambo 68ian economy, worth 97.0 trillion Izerns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 82,374 Izerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is worshipped as a god, there's a bright dawn ahead for Mambo 68, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and a major religion has been named as Mambo 68's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 68's national animal is the Izern.

Mambo 68 is ranked 247,801^st in the world and 768^th in Izern for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -2.53 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
