The Truzloa of Apzia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Young Black with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.321 billion Apzians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apzia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.7%.

The very strong Apzian economy, worth 167 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,805 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 228,390 per year while the poor average 17,187, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, every day's an auto-de-fé day, and parole hearings come with a complimentary ten-year extension. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apzia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Apoism.

Apzia is ranked 52,277^th in the world and 6^th in Fish Storage for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,095.2 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
