The Radiant Baroque Dominion of Chronotopia is a behemoth, orderly nation, ruled by Eternal Salyavin with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 50.441 billion Chronotopiens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aion Megopolis. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Chronotopian economy, worth an astonishing 22,340 trillion Capitols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 442,896 Capitols, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Chronotopia's national animal is the Shobogum, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Tempusanity.

Chronotopia is ranked 301,146^th in the world and 16,235^th in Osiris for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.15 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
