The Republic of Mambo 214 is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 667 million Mambo 214ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.4%.

The strong Mambo 214ian economy, worth 36.1 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 54,081 izerns, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

Theatre may or may not be changing for the better but it is being changed for good, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 214's national animal is the izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 214 is ranked 76,706^th in the world and 257^th in Izern for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,857.91 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
