THE TECHNOCRACY
Originating from a conspiracy among scientists and engineers in the 1920s, the Technocracy was founded to replace the world’s governments with rule by a technocratic elite. Its relationship to the poorly-documented “Steam Lords” of the 1800s, which apparently had a very similar agenda, is unknown. The Technocracy reached its zenith around 1960, when both the CIA and the KGB regarded it as the third most powerful entity on the planet, trailing only the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. themselves. Its grandiose plots were routinely defeated throughout the 1950s by heroes such as the Atomic Man, and a concerted campaign by COUNTERForce throughout the 1960s and 1970s largely destroyed it as a coherent threat. The Technocracy survives as a shadow of its former self, mainly acting as an arms merchant to other criminal organizations and rogue nations. It should not be underestimated, however; it is still one of the greatest concentrations of super-scientific and hypertechnological expertise in the world today.
