The Republic of Mambo 69 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.159 billion Mambo 69ians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mambo 69ian economy, worth 75.8 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, Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 65,441 Izerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cities in Mambo 69 declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 69's national animal is the Izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 69 is ranked 158,257^th in the world and 539^th in Izern for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,857.49 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
