The Republic of Mambo 207 is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The quiet, industrious population of 473 million Mambo 207ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.4%.

The strong Mambo 207ian economy, worth 30.3 trillion izerns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,056 izerns, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Governments opposing Mambo 207 are beset by rebels, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 207's national animal is the izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 207 is ranked 194,882^nd in the world and 684^th in Izern for Highest Poor Incomes, with 21,281.26 Standard Monetary Units.
