The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.253 billion AppleJackyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient AppleJackyian economy, worth a remarkable 7,566 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 393,027 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The AppleJackyian Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AppleJacky's national animal is the Doge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ponyism.

AppleJacky is ranked 8^th in the world and 1^st in Papastan for Nicest Citizens, with 292.57 average smiles per day.
