The Robocratic States of Technorchania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Cortex with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.278 billion Technorchanians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The High City. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Technorchanian economy, worth 213 trillion Cyptocoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,684 Cyptocoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, citizens no longer take selfies with their dead relatives at funerals, and the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technorchania's national animal is the Silver-crested Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Maschinenspiritismus.

Technorchania is ranked 49,616th in the world and 165th in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
