The Republic of Mambo 264 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 477 million Mambo 264ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 25.9%.

The strong Mambo 264ian economy, worth 31.8 trillion izerns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,604 izerns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, Mambo 264ians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 264's national animal is the izern.

Mambo 264 is ranked 101,031^st in the world and 479^th in Izern for Highest Poor Incomes, with 30,411.83 Standard Monetary Units.
