The Lathe Worlds of Sanctum Mechanicus is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Fabricator-General Argen Opifex with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.06 billion Tech-Priests 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nidus Omega. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lathe economy, worth a remarkable 4,065 trillion Cogs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 225,122 Cogs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Purported secret military bases are dismissed by Fabricator-General Argen Opifex to be highly-advanced toilet factories, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", citizens complain about a burning sensation after bathing, and with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sanctum Mechanicus's national animal is the Feral Servitor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult Mechanicus.
Sanctum Mechanicus is ranked 12,017th in the world and 2nd in Warhammer 40000 for Most Stationary, with 2,078.29938516532 days.
