The Automated Hyperstate of The Machine Regime is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The Grand Intelligence with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.347 billion Omnitons 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.1%.

The frighteningly efficient machine economy, worth 787 trillion Nanites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 147,348 Nanites, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 463,614 per year while the poor average 35,829, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

The nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, maintaining economic growth is no laughing matter, and home renovation shows are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Machine Regime's national animal is the Electronic Surveillance Bug, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cogs of the Machine.

The Machine Regime is ranked 327,707^th in the world and 1^st in Ixuar Nuat aw for Highest Drug Use, scoring 1.87 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
