The Technocracy of The Mechanos is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.185 billion Mechanosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaul. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mechanosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,720 trillion Cogs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 187,317 Cogs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, military spending is on the increase, the military has gone fission for more funding, and the might of the entire Mechanosian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Mechanos's national animal is the Mechanical Spirit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Mechanos is ranked 337,598^th in the world and 17^th in Astral Sea for Lowest Crime Rates, with 19.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
