The Tim behind the wall of Tims Balder Puppet is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 19.943 billion Tims Balder Puppetians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, International Aid, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Tims Balder Puppetian economy, worth 342 trillion Ringtats a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 17,178 Ringtats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Elections have been outlawed and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tims Balder Puppet's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Tims Balder Puppet is ranked 189,128th in the world and 4th in League of Nation States for Safest, scoring 51.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
