The Republic of Mambo 77 is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its smutty television, soft-spoken computers, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 909 million Mambo 77ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mambo 77ian economy, worth 82.2 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 broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 90,394 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Animal Dung" has been declared a national treasure, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 77's national animal is the animal.

Mambo 77 is ranked 50,848^th in the world and 56^th in Izern for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,706.66 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
