The Republic of Enjo is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.286 billion Enjoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Industry, although International Aid, Spirituality, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Education and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Enjoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,332 trillion currencies 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, highly specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 252,123 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Enjoan politicians spend a lot of time praising East Lebatuckese policies these days, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, illegal book-trafficking rings dominate the black market, and failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Enjo's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Enjo is ranked 3,062nd in the world and 97th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 13,256.85 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
