The Technology Conglomerate of VoxTek is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by CEO Vincent Whittman with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.407 billion loyal employees are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pentagram City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The frighteningly efficient a loyal employee economy, worth 152 trillion Souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 108,468 Souls, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 409,202 per year while the poor average 20,026, a ratio of 20.4 to 1.

Dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', garbage bags floating down the river are churned up by man-made rapids, and murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. VoxTek's national animal is the Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Vox Populi.

VoxTek is ranked 67,349^th in the world and 22^nd in Free Market Federation for Most Developed, scoring 71.63 on the Human Development Index.
