The Federation of Apscorren is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, national health service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.109 billion Apscorrens 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaylin. The average income tax rate is 34.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Apscorren economy, worth 431 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 138,867 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Funeral mourners ridesharing with the deceased are encouraged to sit on the coffin to save room, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, superfoods are often seen as supervillains, and arbitration is mightier than the sword. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apscorren's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Apscorren is ranked 27,167^th in the world and 1,616^th in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 6.62 Bank.
