The Republic of Mambo 251 is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 570 million Mambo 251ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 40.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mambo 251ian economy, worth 32.6 trillion izerns a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,111 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Mambo 251 is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 251's national animal is the izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 251 is ranked 56,404^th in the world and 242^nd in Izern for Safest, scoring 101.43 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
