The Interstellar Federation of Technogium is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by the Synedrium with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 6.697 billion Technogians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Astrea. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Technogian economy, worth a remarkable 1,213 trillion DELTA tritons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 181,157 DELTA tritons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and the government pours millions of DELTA tritons into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technogium's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Technogium is ranked 4,303^rd in the world and 29^th in Starlight for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 598.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
