The Empire of Apistevia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor JL Fergusson with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.125 billion Apistevists are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AronRa. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Apistevist economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 195,824 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and war criminals are given full state funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apistevia's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Apistevia is ranked 206,044th in the world and 157th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Stationary, with 40.39621025752 days.
