Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Apexiala Island 57 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.485 billion Apexialans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Apexiala Island 57ian economy, worth 558 trillion Apexialas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 124,484 Apexialas, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice, citizens are being told that the greatness of a nation's power is the measure of its surrender, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apexiala Island 57's national animal is the Mythic, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Apexiala Island 57 is ranked 62,590^th in the world and 114^th in The Apexialan Commonwealth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
