The People's Republic of Timisstan is a tiny, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 16 million Timisstanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Timisstanian economy, worth 410 billion BancnoTIMs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 25,642 BancnoTIMs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Timisstan's national animal is the Cocostarc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Timisstan is ranked 93,784^th in the world and 492^nd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,472.43 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
