The Democratic Republic of Aporo is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 36 million Aporoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Aporoan economy, worth 882 billion Dahms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing and Retail. Average income is 24,522 Dahms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aporo's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aporo is ranked 136,852^nd in the world and 67^th in Arkana Coalition for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,148.03 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
