The Vengeful Vigilance of Tim-Opolis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tim Stark with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 35.98 billion Northerners are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winterfell. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The all-consuming Tim-Opolisian economy, worth an astonishing 12,585 trillion Crowns 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, 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 an amazing 349,803 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents, weather forecasts regularly cover meteor showers, the government is full of esquivalience, and colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tim-Opolis's national animal is the Direwolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Adjeism.

Tim-Opolis is ranked 9,525th in the world and 16th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 433.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
