I don't actually know if North America has resources that the rest of the world relies on, but if so it seems that the other parts of the world aspiring to be technates will have to abandon any notions of autarky, the likes of which the original vision of the North American technate appears to adhere to. Some way would have to be found to set up some medium of exchange with non-technocratic parts of the world. Technocracy is not unique in this respect - how would any stateless, classless society deal with another society still mired in capitalism and class?
