The Republic of Appalachya 106 is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 967 million Appalachya 106ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The very strong Appalachya 106ian economy, worth 58.2 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,222 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,169 per year while the poor average 12,284, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime is a problem. Appalachya 106's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Appalachya 106 is ranked 195,977^th in the world and 1^st in North Macedonia for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,236.18 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
