The Republic of Mambo 46 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working, devout population of 1.204 billion Mambo 46ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.3%.

The thriving Mambo 46ian economy, worth 84.1 trillion Izerns a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,847 Izerns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 296,372 per year while the poor average 10,618, a ratio of 27.9 to 1.

Mambo 46ians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 46's national animal is the Izern, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mambo 46 is ranked 216,272^nd in the world and 397^th in Izern for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
