The Apostolic Preserve of Citrus Tree Republic is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, enslaved workforce, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.698 billion Citrus Tree Republicians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Great Grove. The average income tax rate is 67.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Citrus Tree Republician economy, worth 295 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,653 Imperial Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

It's never "just a game" with Citrus Tree Republician sports fans, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, rumor has it that the government was paid off by the mob to allow casinos to reopen, and cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Citrus Tree Republic's national animal is the Nesting Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Citrus Tree Republic is ranked 53,238^th in the world and 1^st in Citrus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 173.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
