The People's Republic of Timisstan is a tiny, cultured nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 8 million Timisstanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Timisstanian economy, worth 112 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 14,100 BancnoTIMs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, nations that kill a Timisstanian can expect a strongly worded letter, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, and the only women behind bars are barmaids. 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 323,922^nd in the world and 599^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Populations, with 8.00 million capita.
