The Federal Republic of Aprait is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President James Porter Finnegan with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 14.536 billion Apraitians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Aprata. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Apraitian economy, worth a remarkable 2,682 trillion Apraitian Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,561 Apraitian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, three extra hay bales are rolled into Aprait's gold vaults every year, and preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aprait's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Aprait is ranked 10,279^th in the world and 140^th in 10000 Islands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,438.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
