The People's Republic of Timisstan is a tiny, cultured nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 10 million Timisstanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Timisstanian economy, worth 141 billion BancnoTIMs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 14,118 BancnoTIMs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, the nation is designated as a welfare recipient under Skandilundian law, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Timisstan's national animal is the Cocostarc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Timisstan is ranked 332,081^st in the world and 599^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
