The Harmonious Orchard of Fishy Apples is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Jackie IV with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 20.807 billion Mer-Apples have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Sweet Apple Ocean. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Fishy Applesian economy, worth a remarkable 4,747 trillion Farts a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 228,147 Farts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 750,643 per year while the poor average 51,960, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Death is nobody's business, city-slickers are jelly of all the farmland the government is giving away, cheap and tasteless vegetables flood the markets, and it's the naked truth that Fishy Apples is The Bunny Fire's premier fashion trendsetter. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fishy Apples's national animal is the Mermaid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Children of the Bobbing Apple.

Fishy Apples is ranked 263,263^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Bunny Fire for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
