The Summertime Republic of Apabeossie is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Evelin Joandia with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.193 billion Apavissians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sardilla. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Apavi economy, worth a remarkable 2,151 trillion Aris a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 234,072 Aris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Apabeossie's national animal is the kingfisher, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Apabeossie is ranked 276,163^rd in the world and 1,136^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 1.66 Obesity Rate.
