The People's Republic of Appall is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 8.641 billion Appallians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of special. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Appallian economy, worth 692 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 80,099 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, cities in Appall declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Appall's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Appall is ranked 28,952nd in the world and 272nd in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,383.52496871012 days.
