The Free and True Republic of Democratic Peoples Society of Mechanisia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Democratically Elected President with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.143 billion Mechanisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Democratic City of Wonderful Joyitude. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Democratic Peoples Society of Mechanisian economy, worth an astonishing 12,874 trillion Souls of Dead Babieses 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 533,253 Souls of Dead Babieses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Police nightsticks see use all day long, warning signs caution Mechanisians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', weather advisories predict sunshine with a chance of spontaneously combusting spacecraft, and Mechanisians are unrivalled in obstacle courses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Democratic Peoples Society of Mechanisia's national animal is the Washed-Out Pop Singer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Nicholas Cage.

Democratic Peoples Society of Mechanisia is ranked 290,679^th in the world and 1^st in Democratic Peoples Society of Mechanisia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 1.59 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
