The United Federation of Changjo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Isak Valtersen with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 23.474 billion Changjoans 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stoffels. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Changjoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,603 trillion Kroner a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 196,117 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When shaking hands with foreign leaders Isak Valtersen wears an armoured gauntlet, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, Changjo's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Changjo's national animal is the Red Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheran.

Changjo is ranked 6,240th in the world and 290th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 149 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
