The Robot of Mechani-Kong is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mechani-Kong with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, state-planned economy, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.854 billion Mechani-Kongians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tokyo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Mechani-Kongian economy, worth a remarkable 1,530 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 155,286 yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 455,642 per year while the poor average 41,718, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

Billions of yen are being blown on orbital weapons development, interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and the nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mechani-Kong's national animal is the gorilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Technology.

Mechani-Kong is ranked 38,137^th in the world and 1^st in The Planet X for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
