The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory vegetarianism, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.648 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 8,384 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 406,068 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In a baffling press conference Applejack the Apple Queen proudly dismantled a broken door, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, and all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull. 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 32^nd in the world and 1^st in Papastan for Safest, scoring 274.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
