The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.745 billion AppleJackyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient AppleJackyian economy, worth an astonishing 10,920 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 441,334 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There are no more heroes any more, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, factories churn out smog to make statues commemorating environmentalism, and clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AppleJacky's national animal is the Doge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ponyism.

AppleJacky is ranked 23^rd in the world and 1^st in Papastan for Longest Average Lifespans, with 106.58 years.
