Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Crazed Peoples of Tim Opolis 3 is a massive, devout nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.502 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The small, corrupt, pro-business government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Commerce and Defence are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and citizens must pay to enjoy Tim Opolis 3's pristine beaches. Crime is a serious problem. Tim Opolis 3's national animal is the Deadly Killer Beast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Ri'nt of Ga'Buke.

Tim Opolis 3 is ranked 7th in Space Sector RPRA and 36,995th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -11 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
