The Republic of Tech is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-working population of 5.79 billion Techians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.4%.

The Techian economy, worth 275 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 47,559 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tech's national animal is the hawk.

Tech is ranked 205,494^th in the world and 1^st in The lunatics for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 850.29 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
