The Republic of A Mystery Machine is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, devout population of 1.546 billion Mystery Machineans 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mystery Machinean economy, worth 110 trillion Universal Silvers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,525 Universal Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, adultery has been made a capital offence, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, and holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Mystery Machine's national animal is the Scooby-Doo.

A Mystery Machine is ranked 135,101^st in the world and 119^th in Puppets of Mystris for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 502.14 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
