The Republic of Timeland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Margaret Von Panabashwa with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.844 billion Timelandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thinashwa. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Timelandian economy, worth 72.6 trillion Marnoes a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,523 Marnoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, Margaret Von Panabashwa has just been declared ruler of Timeland in an international press conference, and Timeland has designated Thinashwa as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Timeland's national animal is the Time Warping Skunk and its national religion is Eism.

Timeland is ranked 223,229^th in the world and 3^rd in Andromedia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 222.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
