The Dictatorship of The Technocratic Agency is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.845 billion Technocrats are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hull. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Technocratic Agencyian economy, worth 721 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,420 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, and an increasing number of citizens believe the world is flat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Technocratic Agency's national animal is the defective Hull nano-machine swarm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is entropism.

The Technocratic Agency is ranked 20,588th in the world and 33rd in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Corrupt Governments, with 98.34 kickbacks per hour.
