The Royal Federation of Changjo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tristan Kjeldsen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical population of 23.705 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 Fjellstad. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Changjoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,658 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 196,500 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and city workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all. 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 1,974^th in the world and 100^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,711.36 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
