“God, Homeland, Liberty”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Mechanical Space Exploration Bot is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 10.048 billion Mechanical Space Exploration Botians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Mechanical Space Exploration Botian economy, worth 313 trillion lire 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 Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. 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 31,155 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mechanical Space Exploration Bot's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mechanical Space Exploration Bot is ranked 38,700^th in the world and 488^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,246.69 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
