The Dominion of Apuni is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chief Executive Manapua Kanahe with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.709 billion Apunians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kailua. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Apunian economy, worth 223 trillion Shells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 130,953 Shells, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 398,822 per year while the poor average 33,371, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, and party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apuni's national animal is the Humuhumu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Apuni is ranked 196,537^th in the world and 256^th in Eurth for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
