“Peace is the only battle worth waging”

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

The People's Republic of Changolandia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by João Gordo with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, lack of airports, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.52 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 1,827 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 158,652 Changoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, the comic book series 'João Gordo and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, and the children of Changolandia are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. 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 282,401^st in the world and 5,164^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -11.8 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
