The Most Serene Republic of Thimkhang is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 139 million Thimkhangians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.4%.

The thriving Thimkhangian economy, worth 12.0 trillion Druks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 86,544 Druks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,280 per year while the poor average 19,758, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, history lessons resemble a who's-who and how's-how of crime, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, and the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thimkhang's national animal is the Gyalpo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thimkhang is ranked 187,223^rd in the world and 812^th in Europeia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 319 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
