The Barbarous Monarchy of Ajojelja is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chancellor Straton Testa with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, fear of technology, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 16.538 billion Ajojeljans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyaral. The average income tax rate is 79.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ajojeljan economy, worth a remarkable 1,815 trillion Emlts 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 109,781 Emlts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

People who make the leader's blood boil get boiled, the purgative quality of Ajojeljan cuisine is known across the globe, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and builders across Ajojelja are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ajojelja's national animal is the lemur, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Paganism.

Ajojelja is ranked 48,823rd in the world and 25th in Lands End for Most Stationary, with 917.5446211044 days.
