The Republic of Mambo 91 is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 967 million Mambo 91ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Mambo 91ian economy, worth 51.0 trillion currencies 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 Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 52,713 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, and standing on one leg in public is a criminal offence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mambo 91's national animal is the animal, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mambo 91 is ranked 146,171^st in the world and 367^th in Izern for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,620.88 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
