The Kingdom of Apradia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by HRM George VI of Muinsterwall e Barnette with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.397 billion Apradians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Roussall. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Apradian economy, worth a remarkable 1,465 trillion Crown Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 198,061 Crown Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A rebrand a day keeps the debt collectors away, a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apradia's national animal is the Apradian Great Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aldicanism.

Apradia is ranked 315,109^th in the world and 28^th in European Union for Least Corrupt Governments, with 48.62 percentage of bribes refused.
