The Most Serene Republic of Timoham is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.364 billion Timohamians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Timohamian economy, worth 223 trillion lumens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 163,751 lumens, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,095,499 per year while the poor average 9,233, a ratio of 118 to 1.

Just as students finish their homework it's time for school, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and factory workers offered 20-hour shifts are expected to thank their bosses for the wonderful opportunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Timoham's national animal is the finch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Timoham is ranked 60,612th in the world and 95th in Lonia Kreptia Llor for Safest, scoring 99.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
