The Union of Technocratic Nations is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Head Director I-292149-4312-4141 with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.438 billion Terrans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UTN-01. The average income tax rate is 82.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Terran economy, worth 947 trillion PaciBits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,166 PaciBits, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, the government is spending billions of taxpayer PaciBits to support "struggling" industries, and gangs have taken to secret handshakes after tattoos were banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technocratic Nations's national animal is the panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State-Enforced Nihilism.

Technocratic Nations is ranked 16,794^th in the world and 1^st in Negative for Highest Average Incomes, with 174,166.61 Standard Monetary Units.
