The Royal Federation of Changjo is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by His Royal Highness King Tarjei I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 28.81 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 5,898 trillion Kroner a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,722 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Compass sales have gone south, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", people with dyslexia are told to tough through it, and would-be crossers of the class divide find the social ladder is well-lubricated. 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 888^th in the world and 57^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 98.67 on the Human Development Index.
