The Interstellar Federation of Technogium is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Synedrium with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 6.716 billion Technogians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Astrea. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Technogian economy, worth a remarkable 1,220 trillion DELTA tritons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 181,796 DELTA tritons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Edutainment video games are taking Technogium's students to the next level, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Technogium, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and scientists pester asteroids with probes until they go away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technogium's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Technogium is ranked 47,115^th in the world and 45^th in Starlight for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 21,234.3 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
