The Intercontinental Federation of Technoco is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ivanov III with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.255 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, with Defense, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. 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 30.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Technocoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,529 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 244,548 Technollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,212,861 per year while the poor average 3,217, a ratio of 687 to 1.

World leaders often feel uncomfortable when Ivanov III tries to recruit them into selling cosmetics, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, it turns out that trees grow on Technollars, and the past is set in stone. Crime is a major 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 285,599th in the world and 8th in Ashes of LPH for Highest Poor Incomes, with 3,217.17 Standard Monetary Units.
