The Time-and-Space-ocracy of Nationstatelandsville is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Dalek with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.666 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The City of Troughton. The average income tax rate is 60%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is giving peace a chance, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, and Nationstatelandsville's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nationstatelandsville's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the pengo.

Nationstatelandsville is ranked 18th in Ankh Mauta and 13,279th in the world for Longest Average Lifespans, scoring 24 on the Enoch Index.
