The Grave Diggers of Timcity is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 25.262 billion Timcityians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The large, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tim-Opolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.6%.

The thriving Timcityian economy, worth a remarkable 1,848 trillion Ri'nts of Ga'Buke a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 73,169 Ri'nts of Ga'Buke, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,640 per year while the poor average 9,901, a ratio of 33.5 to 1.

The public are free to vote for whomever the government wants in office, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', armed police units patrol the roads late at night, and cremation is compulsory for the deceased. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Timcity's national animal is the Deadly Killer Beast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
