The Liberation from the Dark of Mechanocracy is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, aversion to nipples, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.298 billion Robots 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Mechanocracyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,187 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 224,219 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, stray cats threaten the fledgling avian-based internet, school uniforms are compulsory, and the government is buying children's books by the thousands. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Mechanocracy's national animal is the Adbot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mechanocracy is ranked 7,725^th in the world and 6^th in Concord for Highest Average Incomes, with 224,219.43 Standard Monetary Units.
