The Kingdom of Apocana is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 150 million Albanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 33.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Albanian economy, worth 9.38 trillion Aurons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 62,506 Aurons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Playing card suits are sold separately, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the state is footing the bill for billionaires' lawyers, and parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apocana's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Apocana is ranked 226,870^th in the world and 628^th in Europe for Rudest Citizens, with 33.21 insults per minute.
