The Most Serene Republic of Thimkhang is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, devout population of 199 million Thimkhangians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The powerhouse Thimkhangian economy, worth 17.6 trillion Druks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 88,198 Druks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,441 per year while the poor average 21,793, a ratio of 12.6 to 1.

Monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Thimkhangian citizenship in droves, tourists are flocking to the newly-built MeteorLand family resort, claiming to have performed the Heimlich Maneuver is a popular defense for assault charges, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Thimkhang's national animal is the Gyalpo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thimkhang is ranked 88,663rd in the world and 454th in Europeia for Most Developed, scoring 64.73 on the Human Development Index.
