Technological Advantage

A Technological Advantage is a good situation in which a nation becomes known for being on the cutting edge of science and technology, increasing its GDP, the percentage of home Internet Access, and the Productivity of its workers.

Although a high Literacy rate and a lot of public Science Funding are essential in gaining a technological advantage, a nation typically needs a bit more to get an edge; not teaching Creationism in schools, funding a Space Program, permitting Stem Cell Research, enacting Tax Shelters to attract wealthy elites, and giving out Technology Grants and/or University Grants will all help with this.
