Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Grand Duchy of Mechashadow is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Archduke Bolt Gigastein with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 12.314 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mechashadow City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and military spending is on the increase. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mechashadow's national animal is the Barrel Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the gear credit.

Mechashadow is ranked 1st in Darksteel Geargia and 34,577th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 16 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
