Slavery is illegal in Chronotopia, and for a long time, Savanites were simply not permitted, as the leadership did not want to become a haven for runaway slaves and possibly spark conflict with the major powers of Sinai. However, with the recognition of Xenea, the collapse of the Nagai Empire, and the end of slavery in Rephidim, this policy has been rescinded.

Nagai and many other beings more often found in warmer climates are fairly rare in this area, given its northern location, but otherwise the nation has a fairly diverse mix of races - primarily human, Korv, Cervani, Rhian, and a strain of black Khatta.

Despite this, it has a tendency to display xenophobia and even a bit of fascism at times in its dealings with outsiders. While Chronotopia relies heavily on machinery and showcases myriads of great clock towers, it is no more advanced than steam power, and even that is highly unreliable due to quantum uncertainties on the surface of the planet. In recent years, though, significant advances have been made, especially with the advent of contact with civilizations on Abaddon and the greater availability of Abaddonian iron.

The language of Chronotopia is Bosch (oddly enough, the same name as Chronotopia's worst enemy, the Forbidden Zone to the south) although Rephidim Standard is in wide usage.
