The Technocracy of Timewalkers is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Xenu with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 1.742 billion Valbarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kintoshem. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.6%.

The sizeable but inefficient local economy, worth 59.9 trillion clocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 34,387 clocks, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Auditors are gutting every governmental department, foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Emperor Xenu, a proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', and there's a politician called Male Infant Kelly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Timewalkers's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deism.

Timewalkers is ranked 83,764th in the world and 70th in Eientei Gensokyo for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 95.79 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
