Mambo 166

The Republic of Mambo 166 is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 509 million Mambo 166ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 23.8%.

The strong Mambo 166ian economy, worth 33.0 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,857 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 166's national animal is the izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 166 is ranked 104,586th in the world and 559th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 60.44 on the Human Development Index.
