The Federation of Aprinia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Arpra with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.527 billion Aprinians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rinia. The average income tax rate is 51.9%.
The very strong Aprinian economy, worth 128 trillion aprias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,350 aprias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Religious education is a new government priority, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aprinia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Aprinia is ranked 84,811th in the world and 9th in MJT for Safest, scoring 88.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
