The Armed Republic of New Tim-Opolis is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.579 billion New Tim-Opolisians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.3%.

The thriving New Tim-Opolisian economy, worth 285 trillion tim-coins 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 led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 62,278 tim-coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 178,626 per year while the poor average 17,273, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Closed universities are currently being converted into MacDonald's restaurants, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, guns are banned, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Tim-Opolis's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Tim-Opolis is ranked 94,161^st in the world and 829^th in eta for Most Developed, scoring 63.2 on the Human Development Index.
