The Orwellian Decepticon Empire of Pax Cybertronian is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Megatron with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14.962 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 15.5%.

The powerhouse Cybertronian economy, worth a remarkable 2,214 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 147,979 shanixes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 966,780 per year while the poor average 8,932, a ratio of 108 to 1.

The military will start wars with other nations on a lark, Cybertronians are wondering where have all the flowers gone, slavers are real nutters, and children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines. 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 271,248th in the world and 4th in Cymopolia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
