The Technocracy movement or Technocracy Inc. was a movement founded by Howard Scott in 1919 (originally as the Technical Alliance). It grew in popularity in the 1930's during the Great Depression but by 1948, membership dwindled due to internal conflict and groups predictions of economic collapse not coming to fruition. Now all that's left is a website maintained by what few members are left. The main goal of the Technocracy movement was to unite the North American continent (including Greenland, Columbia, and Venezula) under the "North American Technate" which would be ruled by scientists and engineer and whose currency would be based around an energy metric.

My question is would be any way for the Technocracy movement to be successful on its own or would it require more than a few Alien Space bats to even get its foot in the door? Also, a minor question that I haven't really been able to resolve but, would religion be allowed to function under a technocracy?
