The Empire of Mechabuel is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by A4Mecha with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, anti-smoking policies, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 2.123 billion Mechabuelians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hilldon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Mechabuelian economy, worth 399 trillion Rocks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 188,271 Rocks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,457,792 per year while the poor average 6,369, a ratio of 228 to 1.

Lonely children write fanfiction about absent fathers, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mechabuel's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Maltianity.

Mechabuel is ranked 62,271st in the world and 37th in Far East Oriental Federation for Largest Governments, scoring 20.4 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
