The Mambo 220ian economy, worth 25.1 trillion izerns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,297 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, and corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 220's national animal is the izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
