The United States of AJTON is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by AJ Oricoli with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.672 billion AJTONS are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jocksun. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient AJTONEST economy, worth 523 trillion AJTS a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,040 AJTS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, and Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in AJTON. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. AJTON's national animal is the Cheetasaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hellenic and Christianity.

AJTON is ranked 7,933^rd in the world and 412^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 37.82 average smiles per day.
