The Colorless Artifact of Chromatic Lantern is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.948 billion Chromatic Lanternians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chromatic Lanternian economy, worth 392 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,237 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Renewable energy projects have ground to a halt, the new one Card coin also makes a handy throwing-star, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and the politician's labor union forces stage names upon candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chromatic Lantern's national animal is the Lantern Tree, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chromatic Lantern is ranked 19,967^th in the world and 1^st in MTG TCG for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 77.86 Effective Tax Rate.
