The Green Nation of Technoloplant is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.266 billion Saplings are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Techniaplant. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Technik economy, worth a remarkable 1,609 trillion Green Onions a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,829 Green Onions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, and pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies. Crime is totally unknown. Technoloplant's national animal is the Cydog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neo-Dendrolite.

Technoloplant is ranked 3,644^th in the world and 19^th in The Social Liberal Union for Nicest Citizens, with 54.22 average smiles per day.
