The Dominion of Technophilia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.524 billion Technophilians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Technophilian economy, worth 426 trillion Cryptoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 169,069 Cryptoes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 703,986 per year while the poor average 26,542, a ratio of 26.5 to 1.

The meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technophilia's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Technophilia is ranked 280,151st in the world and 10,259th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 51 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
