The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and notable for its lack of airports, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.062 billion AppleJackyians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient AppleJackyian economy, worth a remarkable 6,909 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 major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 382,564 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, government officials who do an offal job get smoked, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. 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.
AppleJacky is ranked 287,285th in the world and 4th in Papastan for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -24.45 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
