The Republic of Mambo 295 is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed population of 675 million Mambo 295ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Mambo 295ian economy, worth 29.6 trillion izerns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 43,875 izerns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, enemy governments seem especially interested in Mambo 295's election cycle, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 295's national animal is the izern, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mambo 295 is ranked 204,241^st in the world and 185^th in Izern for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.59 percentage of bribes refused.
