Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Fallen Apples is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by His Most Gracious Majesty with a fair hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 10.756 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fallen Apples City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, and teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fallen Apples's national animal is the corgi puppy, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the cute girl's number.

Fallen Apples is ranked 3rd in the West Pacific and 317th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 422 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
