The Liberation from the Dark of Mechanocracy is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Margh0t Ostenten L13enfewld with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.602 billion Robots are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Robotic economy, worth a remarkable 1,211 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 216,240 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery, and there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Robotic grocery store. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Mechanocracy's national animal is the Adbot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mechanocracy is ranked 325,818^th in the world and 762^nd in Concord for Most Pacifist, with 4.78 cheeks turned per day.
