The Republic of Mambo 258 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 673 million Mambo 258ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 26.1%.

The strong Mambo 258ian economy, worth 47.2 trillion izerns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,138 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, Mambo 258 is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, and hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 258's national animal is the izern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mambo 258 is ranked 101,680^th in the world and 36^th in Izern for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.42 percentage of bribes refused.
