The Republic of Mambo 75 is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The devout population of 1.1 billion Mambo 75ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 64.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mambo 75ian economy, worth 81.8 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 74,368 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

All beauty contests have been banned, a major religion has been named as Mambo 75's national religion, former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins, and petting zoos have loose fingers strewn about. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 75's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 75 is ranked 290,708^th in the world and 615^th in Izern for Rudest Citizens, with 12.71 insults per minute.
