The Republic of Mambo 108 is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 930 million Mambo 108ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 64.7%.

The thriving Mambo 108ian economy, worth 62.9 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,580 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, and the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 108's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 108 is ranked 271,718^th in the world and 805^th in Izern for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,856.07 Standard Monetary Units.
