The Intercontinental Federation of Technoco is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ivanov III with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.317 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, although Defense, Education, and Administration are also considered important, 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 31.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Technocoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,586 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 251,172 Technollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,272,803 per year while the poor average 3,304, a ratio of 687 to 1.

Unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, and all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 7,927th in the world and 2nd in Ashes of LPH for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 45,736.53 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
