The Republic of Mambo 204 is a huge, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 569 million Mambo 204ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Mambo 204ian economy, worth 19.9 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,890 izerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas", and programmers often reinvent the wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 204's national animal is the izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 204 is ranked 211,136^th in the world and 362^nd in Izern for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -2.16 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
