The Chromatik State of Chromatika is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Keri Wyse Aart with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.982 billion Chromatiks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rochester. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Chromatik economy, worth a remarkable 1,552 trillion NMS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,045 NMS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, the nation's mettle is about to be tested, and rural Chromatiks stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities. 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 12,982^nd in the world and 7^th in Anaia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 98,645.69 Standard Monetary Units.
