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

The Federal Republic of Aprait is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President James Porter Finnegan with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 10.272 billion Apraitians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Saigon. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Apraitian economy, worth a remarkable 1,913 trillion Apraitian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,249 Apraitian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, and the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aprait's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aprait is ranked 11,780^th in the world and 199^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 150.24 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
