The United Breweries of Tijdtevelia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by six Trappist monks in one big raincoat with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.01 billion Tijdtevelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the bottom of a keg. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tijdtevelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,763 trillion Brewskis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 220,163 Brewskis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', and a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal. Crime is totally unknown. Tijdtevelia's national animal is the Ale Swallow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is nursing a hangover.

Tijdtevelia is ranked 4,169th in the world and 3rd in belgium for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 20,848.46 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
