The Grand HiveWorld of Mr moneymachine is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Hive Governor Jimothy Gibbles with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.596 billion Loyal Servants are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Eceoneid HiveSpire. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Money-Hivean economy, worth a remarkable 1,918 trillion Digital Sheckles 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 290,928 Digital Sheckles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Waste is frequently shipped to other countries, government officials across Mr moneymachine are being "encouraged" to adopt Fennec Foxes to set an example for the populace, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mr moneymachine's national animal is the Fennec Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Mr moneymachine is ranked 3,793rd in the world and 35th in 10000 Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 262.25 kickbacks per hour.
