The Republic of Mambo 129 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working population of 914 million Mambo 129ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 12.9%.

The thriving Mambo 129ian economy, worth 51.1 trillion currencies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,911 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, polygamy is legal, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 129's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 129 is ranked 50,302^nd in the world and 54^th in Izern for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,151.85 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
