The Republic of The Rejected Times is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 2.684 billion Rejected Timesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.2%.

The strong Rejected Timesian economy, worth 129 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 48,425 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, surveillance cameras are banned, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime is moderate. The Rejected Times's national animal is the walrus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

The Rejected Times is ranked 188,891^st in the world and 1,271^st in the Rejected Realms for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.44 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
