The Federation of Timpirini is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 29 million Timpirinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Timpirinian economy, worth 503 billion Timpirinian standardised federal credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 17,327 Timpirinian standardised federal credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, outdated physical currency is considered a biohazard, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and sick Timpirinians are hair today and gone tomorrow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Timpirini's national animal is the ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Timpirini is ranked 218,620^th in the world and 12^th in Kellick Isles for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
