The Chromatik State of Chromatika is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Keri Wyse Aart with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, aversion to nipples, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.46 billion Chromatiks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rochester. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Chromatik economy, worth a remarkable 1,262 trillion NMS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,145 NMS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The unofficial motto of the nation's intelligence agency is "in Bont we trust", employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, it's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs, and pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chromatika's national animal is the Squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chromatika is ranked 17,393^rd in the world and 10^th in Anaia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,496.03 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
