The Republic of Mambo 245 is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 478 million Mambo 245ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Environment, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 45.6%.

The sizeable but inefficient Mambo 245ian economy, worth 17.1 trillion izerns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,877 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 245's national animal is the izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 245 is ranked 270,651^st in the world and 614^th in Izern for Most Cultured, scoring 60 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
