The United Federation of Changjo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Isak Valtersen with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 22.494 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 4,351 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 193,435 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, water fights now end with thousands dead, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. 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 272,387^th in the world and 6,518^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -8 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
