The Republic of Mambo 175 is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 600 million Mambo 175ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mambo 175ian economy, worth 27.6 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,931 izerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 175's national animal is the izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 175 is ranked 133,016^th in the world and 551^st in Izern for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
