Hm... I guess Mon Ling is mostly polychronic. People usually aren't in a rush to get anywhere; they just walk leisurely to get places. Schools start at scheduled times and employees are expected to show up to their jobs at specific times, but being late to school is not often punished, and workers may be okay to arrive late depending on what job they have. The Ling phrase "bajole kon aun lapid" means "live at your own pace" and is often used to say that life will be better if you do not stress yourself with deadlines. This sometimes clashes with the Lingian belief in the importance of hard work, which has grown stronger in recent years, but I'd still say Mon Ling is generally polychronic, at least outside of the big cities.
Mon Ling is a capitalist constitutional monarchy located in Asia and ruled by Empress Anastasia. Low taxes, an insane crime rate (very unintentionally), and generally libertarian social attitudes. Goes by NationStates stats, except for population, which is around 16 million.

The CTM has a rather polychromic modern culture due to transhumanism allowing for indefinite lifespans and mass industrial automation

Kiravia is fairly polychronic. Traditionally, Coscivian civilisation has had an irrealist conception of time, viewing it as a mere "medium for change" rather than an active force in its own right that "passes" or "flows". The Coscivian calendar is based on the tides and the phases of the moon, which lends itself to more cyclical thinking.

We are somewhat of a blend. Evolved are basically immortal, so many take their time to enjoy things and do things at their leisure. However, at pretty much all jobs in the Empire, efficiency is paramount.

Since Devernia is a liberal cosmopolitan society, it can be considered as polychronic.

Although monochronic in certain regions/cultures, polychronic outweighs monochronic.

The Landfill does not operate on conventional chronological laws, or even unconventional chronological laws. There are those who see their world as omnichronic, believing that all of time exists at once and the limited ration of causality allowed to your average citizen is but an illusion to placate the masses. Most however have given up of trying to quantify time as anything less than an unobtainable island of stability in the unending paradox of their lives.

Very polychronic as Kedri is a tropical island that was historically ruled by pirates. That is no longer the case Kedri is now a modern Western democracy and its citizens are just like any other nation's, but they have retained the polychronic view of time.
Kedri is a nation of 18th century pirates who know water-bending. Throw in some steampunk, as well. Tech level is PT/FanT.
Kedrians abandon piracy and become a modernized country, founded by reformed criminals who forsook piracy and the citizens are descended from pirates, and still retain some of their heritage such as speech, accent, politics.

Postby Magical Equestria » Mon Sep 25, 2017 8:13 pm

If anything, Equestria is achronic. Ponies have a very poor understanding of the concept of time, largely stemming from the fact that the motions of the celestial bodies which most people use to measure time are, in Equestria, manually controlled. Day and night occur by the command of our senior Princesses, Celestia the Sun-Raiser and Luna the Moon-Raiser. Likewise, the passage of the seasons and their corresponding weather patterns are decreed by Princess Celestia and enacted by the weather-ponies from among our Pegasus population.

The end result of this is that ponies don't really grasp the idea of time naturally progressing. Things happen in Equestria because someone makes them happen, not because they occur according to some schedule.

Yannia is mostly polychronic, but the cities, and especially the capital, tend to be monochronic.
