The Azure Utopia of Last Option Chronicle is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by the last among equals with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, aversion to nipples, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.178 billion Chroniclers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Place. The average income tax rate is 64.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Chronicler economy, worth 794 trillion last options a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 128,552 last options, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The last among equals can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead, detrimental health conditions can be a political death sentence, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Last Option Chronicle, and spiritual leaders preach that the poor are being punished for their sins. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Last Option Chronicle's national animal is the pony raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Violetism.

Last Option Chronicle is ranked 288,547^th in the world and 11,184^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 4.12 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
