The Artificial Light of Mechanocracy is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its lack of airports, fear of technology, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 4.127 billion Robots are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Education aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mechanocracyian economy, worth 943 trillion Credits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. 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 amazing 228,617 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Leader, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, and the nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive. Mechanocracy's national animal is the Adbot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mechanocracy is ranked 284,904^th in the world and 780^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 3.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
