The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.083 billion AppleJackyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient AppleJackyian economy, worth a remarkable 7,463 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 391,091 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
