The Temporal Paradox of Aikion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Kronos with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 36.987 billion Aikionians 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.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Akrus. The average income tax rate is 18.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aikionian economy, worth an astonishing 17,219 trillion chronospheres a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 465,545 chronospheres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, and the legal minefield around ownership of fiction has demolished the publishing industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Aikion's national animal is the komodo dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Trioism.

Aikion is ranked 331,241^st in the world and 17,653^rd in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -34.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
