The Salt King of Tim-Opolis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tim Stark with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20 billion Northerners are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winterfell. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The powerhouse Tim-Opolisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,277 trillion Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 263,875 Crowns, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 988,057 per year while the poor average 49,303, a ratio of 20.0 to 1.

Wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, military instructors tire of being asked for another bedtime story by seven-year-old conscripts, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, and prudishness is on the way out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tim-Opolis's national animal is the Direwolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Adjeism.

Tim-Opolis is ranked 36,896^th in the world and 41^st in Spiritus for Most Pro-Market, scoring 63.44 on the Rand Index.
