The Federation of Song of Time is a massive, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.238 billion Song of Timeans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.2%.

The very strong Song of Timean economy, worth 83.0 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,051 rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 203,088 per year while the poor average 17,221, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Politicians' smiles are legally considered a form of disaster relief, one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, the only religious freedom citizens have is which religion they want to oppress them, and coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Song of Time's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Song of Time is ranked 156,823^rd in the world and 35^th in Square Enix for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 29.21 Effective Tax Rate.
