The Interstellar Federation of Technogium is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by the Synedrium with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 6.859 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 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Technogian economy, worth a remarkable 1,272 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 185,524 DELTA tritons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only adults may purchase violent video games, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, high school bands practice by moonlight, and nations that kill a Technogian can expect a strongly worded letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Technogium's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Technogium is ranked 5,155th in the world and 32nd in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 94.55 on the Human Development Index.
