The Federal Republic of Techcorpia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 261 million AI's 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The AI economy, worth 9.40 trillion RAMS a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,021 RAMS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Prison visits increase substantially during election years, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, and a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Techcorpia's national animal is the Computer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Techcorpia is ranked 226,001^st in the world and 1^st in The Freedom Lovers for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
