The Lizard of Untecna is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Teccy with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.53 billion Untecnans 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, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry 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 92.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Untecnan economy, worth a remarkable 5,900 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 436,074 dragonpieces, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,237,909 per year while the poor average 122,698, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. 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 28,934th in the world and 91st in Starlight for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,721.89 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
