The Harmonious Orchard of Fishy Apples is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Jackie IV with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 20.965 billion Mer-Apples have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Education receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Sweet Apple Ocean. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Fishy Applesian economy, worth a remarkable 4,798 trillion Farts a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 228,897 Farts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 765,663 per year while the poor average 50,866, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, the government has to take out its Visa to eliminate visas, the written word endures forever, and government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fishy Apples's national animal is the Mermaid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Children of the Bobbing Apple.

Fishy Apples is ranked 332,322^nd in the world and 2^nd in The Bunny Fire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
