The Loyal Estates and Houses of Untecna is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Irulan Rotheca with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.386 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archos. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Untecnan economy, worth a remarkable 3,398 trillion Solaris 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 405,265 Solaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, the government's economic policy can be summed up as "Abort, Retry, Fail?", politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. 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 Pleiai jackal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Crymenathea.

Untecna is ranked 68,252^nd in the world and 51^st in Institute of Cellulose for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,499.1 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
