The Republic of Mambo 72 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 913 million Mambo 72ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mambo 72ian economy, worth 58.5 trillion currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 64,111 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, all industry is owned and run by the government, the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 72's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 72 is ranked 62,298^th in the world and 239^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 73.53 on the Human Development Index.
