The Democratic Republic of Apollonir is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.139 billion Apollonirians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Apollonirian economy, worth 819 trillion Certs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,979 Certs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, and the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apollonir's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Apollonir is ranked 5,072nd in the world and 142nd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Poor Incomes, with 160,332.04 Standard Monetary Units.
