The Republic of Mambo 187 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and digital currency. The hard-nosed population of 627 million Mambo 187ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mambo 187ian economy, worth 42.7 trillion izerns a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,046 izerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits, tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 187's national animal is the izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 187 is ranked 190,584^th in the world and 301^st in Izern for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 161.01 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
