The Rogue Technocracy of Agudo Island is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Jose Agudo with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.428 billion techanistas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Clara Luz. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Techanista economy, worth 163 trillion bitcredits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 114,715 bitcredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children wondering what happens to pets after they die are shown where the compost heap is, elections have recently been reintroduced to Agudo Island, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and President Jose Agudo has been nicknamed 'Robomop'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Agudo Island's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular atheism.

Agudo Island is ranked 289,025th in the world and 374th in Refugia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -23.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
