The Community of Tech Zern is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.398 billion Tech Zernians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinu. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tech Zernian economy, worth 138 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,719 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-environmentalist dissidents must beware of government plants in their midst, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, and children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tech Zern's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is not having one.

Tech Zern is ranked 18,033^rd in the world and 30^th in Anteria for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,292.15 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
