Well, the title says it all, by 1989 have the United States become an official technocracy.
Bonus points if they somehow drag Canada with them.
Just a question for all other posters: What would you say is the most technocratic nation in the world at present (in relative terms).

We've only ever had one true technocracy
We've only ever had one true technocracy, the pre-Stalin Soviet Union. The progress made was astounding. One of the freest and most progressive states the world has ever seen....
???
The Soviet industrial base boomed under Stalin, not beforehand.
Interesting. A bit difficult, though, given the American (and general Anglo-Saxon) distrust for the scholar-bureaucrat.
Yeah, a definition would really help... a lot
Technocracy ("techno" from the Greek tekhne for skill, "cracy" from the Greek kratos for "power") is a governmental or organizational system where decision makers are selected based upon how highly skilled and qualified they are, rather than how much political capital they hold.
So you weren't refering to the Technocraty movement or Technocracy Inc., the usual meaning of the term?
True technocracy is based on scientists, technicians, engineers. Not rotten bureaucracy and political weaklings.![]()
