The Intercontinental Federation of Technoco is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ivanov III with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.267 billion Technocoans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City A-17 H 1-2 Hustler City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Technocoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,548 trillion Technollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 247,085 Technollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,235,819 per year while the poor average 3,250, a ratio of 687 to 1.

Ex-cons are paid to remain law-abidingly dull, children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, and fair play is a sportsbook refusing to pay what it owes. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Technoco's national animal is the Golden Dodo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money.

Technoco is ranked 20,906th in the world and 1st in Ashes of LPH for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,010.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
