The Republic of Timlond is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 12 million Timlondians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The very strong Timlondian economy, worth 755 billion TFRS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 62,986 TFRS, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Timlond's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Timlond is ranked 34,960^th in the world and 127^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,447.93 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
