The United States of AJTON is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by AJ Oricoli with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.824 billion AJTONS enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jocksun. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient AJTONEST economy, worth 549 trillion AJTS a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,878 AJTS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and opening a bad email attachment can be a major felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. AJTON's national animal is the Cheetasaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hellenic and Christianity.

AJTON is ranked 20,385^th in the world and 822^nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 276.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
