Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Public of AP3 10 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.693 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and the Environment are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mushroom. The average income tax rate is 86%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AP3 10's national animal is the Human Being, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Unit.

AP3 10 is ranked 44th in 00000 A World Power and 99,842nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
