The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.605 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 8,349 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 405,232 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, depression sinks in after each election when voters realize they are stuck with these people for years, and spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home. 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 316,012^th in the world and 4^th in Papastan for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -25.57 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
