The Republic of Mambo 122 is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 822 million Mambo 122ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The strong Mambo 122ian economy, worth 39.6 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,207 currencies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 188,187 per year while the poor average 8,424, a ratio of 22.3 to 1.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, and theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 122's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
