The People's Union of Changdu is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Premier Sun Han with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The devout population of 11.564 billion Changduans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qamdo. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Changduan economy, worth 481 trillion yengs a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,628 yengs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Changdu's national animal is the tortoise and its national religion is Liaoism.

Changdu is ranked 145,466^th in the world and 1^st in Xinjiang for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 415.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
