The Sacred Wilderness of Aproved is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by the Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.945 billion Aprovedians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Qilaktuk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 44.9%.

The Aprovedian economy, worth 306 trillion Silverfins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,575 Silverfins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 109,934 per year while the poor average 10,795, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, and elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aproved's national animal is the beluga whale and its national religion is Cult of the White Beast.

Aproved is ranked 103,572^nd in the world and 2,003^rd in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
