The Maria Doppelganger of Die Maschinenmensch is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.89 billion Maschinenmensches live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The large, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Social Policy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.8%.

The strong Maschinenmensch Maria economy, worth 791 trillion Deutsche Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing.

Crime is a serious problem. Die Maschinenmensch's national animal is the Die Puppenfee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
