The Applebanian Switcher of Appledalek IX is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.899 billion Appledalek IXians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Appledalek IXian economy, worth 76.4 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 26,354 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Appledalek IX's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Appledalek IX is ranked 271,644th in the world and 51st in The Apolean Frontiers for Most Stationary, with 10.2984656312 days.
