The Republic of Mambo 246 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 460 million Mambo 246ians 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, Healthcare, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 22.1%.

The sizeable but inefficient Mambo 246ian economy, worth 22.2 trillion izerns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,337 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, every week is blindness awareness week, meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mambo 246's national animal is the izern, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mambo 246 is ranked 182,785^th in the world and 807^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 53.38 on the Human Development Index.
