“Tempus fugit.”

The United Star States of Chronopolice is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Pi Chronopolice with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.244 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the army's shirt ninjas are the most feared assassins in the region, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chronopolice's national animal is the Cheshire cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Schrodinger.

Chronopolice is ranked 4th in the region and 545th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
