The Republic of Ajaja is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.711 billion Ajajans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ajajan economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion 9003s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 177,828 9003s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, Ajajan tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and students who refuse to pray are expelled from school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ajaja's national animal is the 9003, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ajaja is ranked 56,179th in the world and 1st in acceptability for Most Stationary, with 786.972760226 days.
