The Royal Federation of Changjo is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by His Royal Highness King Tarjei I with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 23.783 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 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 4,672 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 196,469 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Changjo Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. 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.

Changjo is ranked 9,789^th in the world and 465^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 412.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
