The Republic of Appalachya 66 is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.236 billion Appalachya 66ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Appalachya 66ian economy, worth 82.5 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 66,769 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,343 per year while the poor average 13,619, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Appalachya 66's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Appalachya 66 is ranked 17,691^st in the world and 1^st in Katowice for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,963.31 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
