The Theocratic Dominion of Technom is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 849 million Technomians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portland. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Technomian economy, worth 62.5 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,603 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, and people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Technom's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Technom is ranked 40,712^th in the world and 1^st in Gathered Dominions for Most Pacifist, with 107.84 cheeks turned per day.
