The Republic of Appelia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Granny Smith with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.575 billion Appelians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Public Transport, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malusia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The very strong Appelian economy, worth 157 trillion apples a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 61,004 apples, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,058 per year while the poor average 13,961, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Political detractors refer to Granny Smith as 'that Bigtopian puppet', bins outnumber trees in city parks, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Appelia's national animal is the apple, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Applism.

Appelia is ranked 132,127^th in the world and 1^st in AppleJuice for Nudest, with 139.5 cheeks per square mile.
