The People's Republic of Changolandia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Joćo Gordo with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.526 billion Changolandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quanton. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Changolandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,832 trillion Changoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 159,002 Changoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The children of Changolandia are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and the government is flooded with compensation requests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Changolandia's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Changolandia is ranked 39,895th in the world and 902nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 178.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
