The Allegorical Sci-Fi Universe of Mechyrdia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The guy who writes Mechyrdia lore with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, pith helmet sales, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 16.694 billion Mechyrdians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The place where I write Mechyrdia lore. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mechyrdian economy, worth a remarkable 6,117 trillion thrones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 366,478 thrones, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,109,930 per year while the poor average 30,509, a ratio of 69.2 to 1.

Innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mechyrdia's national animal is the two-headed eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Vargeshtam Tulasram.

Mechyrdia is ranked 390th in the world and 1st in Galactic Hegemony for Fattest Citizens, with 87.78 Obesity Rate.
