The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.493 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 frighteningly efficient AppleJackyian economy, worth a remarkable 3,994 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 Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 319,721 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

AppleJackyian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, organ donation is compulsory, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, and arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct. 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.
