“Peace is the only battle worth waging”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Changolandia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by João Gordo with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 11.38 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 1,798 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 extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,065 Changoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million Changoes of property damage, and television executives are interested in turning João Gordo's zany home life into a sitcom. 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 1,641^st in the world and 45^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 78.41 average smiles per day.
