The Republic of Mambo 83 is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, public floggings, and digital currency. The devout population of 889 million Mambo 83ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.1%.

The powerhouse Mambo 83ian economy, worth 79.1 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,944 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, and the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 83's national animal is the animal.

Mambo 83 is ranked 98,813^th in the world and 518^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 61.74 on the Human Development Index.
