The Federal Republic of Chronus is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.153 billion Chronusians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Administration, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kairos. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chronusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,363 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 167,274 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply, a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, and veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing. Crime is totally unknown. Chronus's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chronus is ranked 92,888^th in the world and 349^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,130.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
