The Holy Empire of Timeblind
The Holy Empire of Timeblind is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 157 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 48%, but much higher for the wealthy. A nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.
Government-run brothels can be found on every street corner, the Timeblind Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', voting is voluntary, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime is well under control. Timeblind's national animal is the badger eel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the egg.
Timeblind is ranked 67th in the region and 18,322nd in the world for Nicest Citizens.
See for yourself. I didn't post it.

other pleasant name thefts:
Slug http://www.myspace.com/atmosphere also named a track Timeblind, swiping my name. He's also from Minneapolis and we used to hang out.
http://www.fun-in-the-murky.com/ is a techno website that takes its name from a track from my The Mumbler EP. Which was one of my favorite techno records.
Rgds!
