The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.068 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, Administration, and Environment. 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 an astonishing 10,497 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 436,144 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, and making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AppleJacky's national animal is the Doge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ponyism.

AppleJacky is ranked 8^th in the world and 1^st in Papastan for Nicest Citizens, with 335.93 average smiles per day.
