The Community of CJ is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.03 billion CJians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient CJian economy, worth a remarkable 1,828 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,667 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, and CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CJ's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

CJ is ranked 269,368th in the world and 9,994th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 72.78 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
