Little is known of the inner workings of the Technocracy, as almost no one leaves the country - and those who do are as clueless as outsiders, speaking of a life in sprawling industrial cities, amongst masses of zombie-like compatriots. There is no question though that the Technocracy is big on all things cybernetic, from surveillance systems to outright robots and cyborgs. As the rulers of the country seem to be completely silent to the outside world, the vision of endless armies of automata setting out some day to conquer the planet is a popular scare in the neighboring lands. However, such an event has yet to happen, and the general consensus is that the Technocracy is ears-deep in internal trouble, caused by social unrest, the heavy tithes the Star Gods demand, and, if you're willing to listen to wilder rumors, by rogue machines.
