The Changeling Queen of Chrysalis is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.724 billion Chrysalisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Chrysalisian economy, worth 218 trillion Loves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 25,005 Loves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chrysalis's national animal is the Changeling, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chrysalis is ranked 139,626^th in the world and 5^th in Pony Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 77.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
