The Reforming Democracy of Aportistopireistan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Hugh with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 4.681 billion Aportistos enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dormeadow City. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aportisto economy, worth 671 trillion cupids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 143,389 cupids, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, farting etiquette is taught in schools, it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aportistopireistan's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aportistopireistan is ranked 98,810^th in the world and 91^st in Wintreath for Most Patriotic, with 16.61 flags saluted per person per day.
