The Kingdom of Applebergs is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 13.751 billion Applebergsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The very strong Applebergsian economy, worth 842 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 61,287 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed, genetic researchers have been expelled, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and rare art has become a significant factor in negotiating all foreign trade agreements. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Applebergs's national animal is the Green Owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Applebergs is ranked 110,973^rd in the world and 16^th in The waiting room of matheo for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,004.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
