The Liberated Planet of Decepticon-controlled Cybertron is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Shockwave with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.612 billion Decepticons 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaon. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Decepticon economy, worth 129 trillion shanixes 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 28,018 shanixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Shockwave in ermine and velvet garb, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decepticon-controlled Cybertron's national animal is the driller, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Decepticon-controlled Cybertron is ranked 171,790^th in the world and 4^th in Empire of Galactoreus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 66.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
