The Commonwealth of Timothea is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Timon de Flavius with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.251 billion Timotheans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flaviora. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Timothean economy, worth 136 trillion Timoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 109,118 Timoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cogitators and mass debaters are skiving off work to hang around the National Symposium Park, Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Timothea's national animal is the Brown Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Timism.

Timothea is ranked 227,733^rd in the world and 10,484^th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -22.4 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
