The Republic of Mambo 222 is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed population of 559 million Mambo 222ians 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 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Mambo 222ian economy, worth 24.1 trillion izerns a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,102 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas, uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Mambo 222ian politicians, and cheese lovers have a case of the bleus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 222's national animal is the izern.

Mambo 222 is ranked 132,435^th in the world and 232^nd in Izern for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,448.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
