The Armed Republic of Red Mechanocracy is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 573 million Red Mechanocracyians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.3%.

The very strong Red Mechanocracyian economy, worth 32.2 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 56,242 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,753 per year while the poor average 15,016, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, military spending recently hit a new high, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and onions have been banned due to their tendency to cause eye irritation. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Red Mechanocracy's national animal is the Trout, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Red Mechanocracy is ranked 274,909th in the world and 304th in Blue Chevron for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.52 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
