The Commonwealth of Chronus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The People with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.177 billion Chronusians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kairos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Chronusian economy, worth 146 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,097 Kroner, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 461,228 per year while the poor average 23,461, a ratio of 19.7 to 1.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", tourists are forbidden to enter Native Chronusian lands, and government bureaucrats spend six hours per day justifying a six-hour workday. Crime is well under control. Chronus's national animal is the Black Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chronus is ranked 167,267^th in the world and 644^th in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 82.4 billion Standard Monetary Units.
