The Ever-Turning Hourglass of Chronostas is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Wonky Timelines with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.3 billion Chronostasians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Secondum. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Chronostasian economy, worth 293 trillion Times a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 35,377 Times, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, Wonky Timelines has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and The Unstoppable Passage of Time has been named as Chronostas's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chronostas's national animal is the Flying Clock Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Unstoppable Passage of Time.

Chronostas is ranked 96,055th in the world and 36th in Shinka for Most Stationary, with 467.13930519732 days.
