The Federation of Northern Technocracies is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Director Alexandria with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.198 billion Northern Technocrats are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pentex. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.1%.

The all-consuming Northern Technocraciesian economy, worth 219 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 99,699 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,338 per year while the poor average 8,663, a ratio of 65.0 to 1.

The army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, the secret service is working overtime to find anyone publishing unauthorized material about Director Alexandria, and citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Northern Technocracies's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Northern Technocracies is ranked 273,480th in the world and 1,719th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Poor Incomes, with 8,663.81 Standard Monetary Units.
