The hard-working, cynical population of 67 million Mechanian 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.6%. The very strong Clockwork Mech economy, worth 5.21 trillion Cogs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 77,750 Cogs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest. A punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, private law firms are unheard of, and the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Clockwork Nirvana's national animal is the Formian, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
