The Colony of The Hokkaido Machine is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.916 billion Components have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vega. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Component economy, worth 501 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,330 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens brought into court for parking violations are never heard from again, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, most pop videos prominently feature the Component flag, and well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Hokkaido Machine's national animal is the Quasar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Hokkaido Machine is ranked 35,149th in the world and 161st in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,280.39263193708 days.
