The Lizard of Untecna is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Teccy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.796 billion Untecnans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of A Big Rock. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Untecnan economy, worth a remarkable 6,027 trillion dragonpieces 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 436,880 dragonpieces, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,276,301 per year while the poor average 118,095, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.

The government is a law unto itself, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of nones and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Untecna's national animal is the none, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Untecna is ranked 311,691st in the world and 524th in Starlight for Most Devout, with 2.44 prayers per hour.
