The Imperial Technarchy of New Apperon is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Technarch Deepwells III with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, parental licensing program, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.77 billion Apperonese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 Ascendance. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Apperonese economy, worth a remarkable 9,012 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 395,804 Encens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and military officers are given medals for disobeying orders. 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 Neo-Newtonianism.

New Apperon is ranked 116,691st in the world and 368th in 10000 Islands for Most Stationary, with 320.1271909518 days.
