The Most Serene Republic of Violet Mechanocracy is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 204 million Violet Mechanocracyians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Violet Mechanocracyian economy, worth 6.56 trillion Credits 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. 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 32,169 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Violet Mechanocracy's national animal is the Trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Violet Mechanocracy is ranked 171,500^th in the world and 162^nd in Blue Chevron for Most Patriotic, with 8.73 flags saluted per person per day.
