The Dominion of Some Buick Regal is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by a reckless driver with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.673 billion mechanics are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.9%.

The powerhouse a mechanic economy, worth a remarkable 1,832 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 84,565 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 279,898 per year while the poor average 19,090, a ratio of 14.7 to 1.

A reckless driver can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, and customers who are not the epitome of politeness always find themselves at the back of the queue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Some Buick Regal's national animal is the orange and white cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Some Buick Regal is ranked 92,231st in the world and 1st in Minty Root for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 103.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
