The Free Land of Timao is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 18.636 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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 wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, Timao's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Timao after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. Crime is totally unknown. Timao's national animal is the hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the none.

Timao is ranked 1st in The Proletariat Coalition and 3rd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 54 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
