The Intercontinental Federation of Technoco is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ivanov III with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.366 billion Technocoans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City A-17 H 1-2 Hustler City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Technocoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,602 trillion Technollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 251,685 Technollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,277,438 per year while the poor average 3,311, a ratio of 687 to 1.

Talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, teenagers get their license without taking the test, thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, and making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Technoco's national animal is the Golden Dodo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money.

Technoco is ranked 14,847th in the world and 2nd in Ashes of LPH for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 5,474.45 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
