"The Rogue Nation of The Republican Democracy of Chrono Cross is a fledgling, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5 million The Republican Democracy of Chrono Crossians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The The Republican Democracy of Chrono Crossian economy, worth 205 billion Poutchis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 41,093 Poutchis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Republican Democracy of Chrono Cross's national animal is the pika-shiney."
