“Time changes, Time stagnates ”

The Temporal Paradox of Aikion is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Premier Kronos with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 31.851 billion Aikionians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akrus. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aikionian economy, worth an astonishing 14,933 trillion chronospheres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 468,864 chronospheres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales', Premier Kronos's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aikion's national animal is the komodo dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Trioism.

Aikion is ranked 289,706^th in the world and 11^th in Realm of Unrestricted Science for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -28.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
