The Orwellian Decepticon Empire of Pax Cybertronian is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Megatron with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.179 billion Cybertronians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iacon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The powerhouse Cybertronian economy, worth a remarkable 2,395 trillion shanixes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,056 shanixes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 967,284 per year while the poor average 8,937, a ratio of 108 to 1.

Cybertronians are wondering where have all the flowers gone, slavers are real nutters, children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, and everyone apparently sends Megatron hair-filled lockets, offers to die heroically, and poetic desires to co-parent a child. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pax Cybertronian's national animal is the Jurassanoid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Primalism.

Pax Cybertronian is ranked 29,636th in the world and 1st in Cymopolia for Most Patriotic, with 43.45 flags saluted per person per day.
