The term Technate was originated by Technocracy Incorporated in the
early 1930s to describe the region over which a technocratic
society would operate using thermodynamic energy accounting instead of a price system (money) method. All resources and industry of this land region would be used to provide an abundance of goods and services, within a sustainable ecological context, to its citizens under the program Energy Accounting.
The European Technate
According to technocrats, a technate cannot simply be set up anywhere
like a modern-
day country; it has several requirements that must be met in order for it to operate:
There must be sufficient natural resources.
There must be an existing industrial and scientific
base from which to operate the Technate.
There must be a sufficient amount of trained personnel for its operation.
