The Militant Cyberocracy of Technolopolis is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Hivemind with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.633 billion Technolopolites 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Registeria. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Technolopolisian economy, worth 541 trillion currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 62,718 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The deceased are buried mostly to hide them from state-sanctioned corpse-collectors, workers' complaints never reach central planning, requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technolopolis's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Technolopolis is ranked 236,206th in the world and 307th in The Black Hawks for Most Primitive, scoring -117.53 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
