The Republic of Mambo 83 is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and smutty television. The devout population of 924 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 82.2 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 77,229^th in the world and 327^th in Izern for Highest Average Incomes, with 88,944.21 Standard Monetary Units.
