Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Indefatigable Greatness of Chrinthanium is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Nathaniel IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.069 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ithansia. The average income tax rate is 50%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Gambling and Arms Manufacturing.

The government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and almost all of Chrinthanium's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Chrinthanium's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Something you wouldn't understand, and its currency is the Imperial Dollar.

Chrinthanium is ranked 29th in A Modern World and 96,016th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
