The Space Western Enthusiasts of Tim is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tim Stark with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 23.309 billion Timians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weisshaupt Fortress. The average income tax rate is 55.9%.

The powerhouse Timian economy, worth a remarkable 1,936 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 83,064 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Political dissidents are cut off from essential services, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, and the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tim's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Old Gods.

Tim is ranked 220,894^th in the world and 226^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Primitive, scoring -79.69 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
