The Republic of Appalachya 70 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.175 billion Appalachya 70ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong Appalachya 70ian economy, worth 61.9 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 52,665 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,420 per year while the poor average 10,742, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, military spending recently hit a new high, surveillance cameras are banned, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime is a problem. Appalachya 70's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Appalachya 70 is ranked 130,192^nd in the world and 1^st in Patriarchy for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,035.76 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
