The Republic of Chronomaly Machu Mech is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.072 billion Chronomaly Machu Mechians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Chronomaly Machu Mechian economy, worth 405 trillion Cards 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. 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 99,675 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', and the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chronomaly Machu Mech's national animal is the Kuriboh, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
