The Community of Tech Zern is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and digital currency. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.445 billion Tech Zernians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinu. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Tech Zernian economy, worth 144 trillion deniers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,879 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and billions of deniers are spent to take high-quality photos of the Wolf Nebula. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tech Zern's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is not having one.

Tech Zern is ranked 39,512^th in the world and 39^th in Anteria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,723.19 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
