The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.35 billion AppleJackyians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 5,418 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 extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 352,986 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminal rehabilitation takes place in re-education centers, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, "It was only a joke" is no longer a defense for the felony of discrimination, and hay has been added to school cafeteria menus. 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 7,109^th in the world and 1^st in Papastan for Most Stationary, with 2,323.66517952 days.
