The Imperium of Chalybea is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Antonius Pontibus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 19.901 billion Chalybeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferrum. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Chalybean economy, worth a remarkable 5,625 trillion Denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 282,655 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most foreigners can't name the leader of Chalybea, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Chalybean officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, foreign governments regularly accuse the Chalybean military of war crimes, and nobody ever seems to enter or leave the armour-plated flying castle that serves as the seat of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chalybea's national animal is the Lupus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chalybea is ranked 12,267th in the world and 2nd in Fifth Empire for Most Stationary, with 2,041.65694333872 days.
