The Holy Empire of Advanced Prototype Jumpship is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.906 billion Advanced Prototype Jumpshipians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.4%.

The powerhouse Advanced Prototype Jumpshipian economy, worth 138 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 47,809 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 173,560 per year while the poor average 9,378, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

Beggars lack pockets for spare change, Advanced Prototype Jumpshipian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill.
