The Empire of Thell Timence is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 272 million Thell Timenceans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.0%.

The all-consuming Thell Timencean economy, worth 19.3 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 71,096 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms, dictionary sales have hit an all-time high, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, and advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Thell Timence's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Thell Timence is ranked 78,962^nd in the world and 12^th in Austin Texa storage for Most Primitive, scoring 33.28 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
