The Social Pepapoulist Republic of Appilasol is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Alexandro Pepapoulo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.552 billion Pillas are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Appilasolian economy, worth 302 trillion Sotos a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,680 Sotos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"What's the Frequency, Supreme Leader Alexandro Pepapoulo?" is a favorite phrase of backyard radio broadcasters when interrupting official diplomatic channels, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Appilasol's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Greek Orthodox Christianity.

Appilasol is ranked 207,665^th in the world and 1^st in Assembly of Communism for Most Primitive, scoring -78.48 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
