The Federation of Old Cybertron is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Septimus Prime with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 5.65 billion Old Cybertronians 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, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal City. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Old Cybertronian economy, worth 486 trillion Energons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,141 Energons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Cybertron's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
