The Imperial Technarchy of New Apperon is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Technarch Deepwells III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, humorless population of 27.705 billion Apperonese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parallax. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Apperonese economy, worth an astonishing 11,071 trillion Encens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 399,617 Encens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, finders keepers is the law of the land, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and entomologists flock to Parallax for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Apperon's national animal is the Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eternal Dawn.

New Apperon is ranked 251^st in the world and 8^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Governments, scoring 90.61 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
