The Republic of Mambo 73 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 895 million Mambo 73ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mambo 73ian economy, worth 57.2 trillion currencies 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 63,870 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dartboard at the Mambo 73ian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, and interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 73's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mambo 73 is ranked 76,901^st in the world and 349^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 68.19 on the Human Development Index.
