The Republic of Ctime is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 15.819 billion Ctimeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ctimean economy, worth 948 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,950 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ctime's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ctime is ranked 303,125^th in the world and 1,209^th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Drug Use, scoring 15.4 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
