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

The Republic of Apottle is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by SPYE with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.557 billion Apottleans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Star Spangled City. The average income tax rate is 11.4%.

The all-consuming Apottlean economy, worth 733 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 111,924 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, the red star of communism has been replaced by the gold star of the McRonald's badge, and women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Apottle's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Apottle is ranked 257,986^th in the world and 6,114^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 175.29 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
