The Confederacy of The Free Land of Apes is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Doctor Who with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.091 billion Apesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apetown. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Apesian economy, worth a remarkable 4,060 trillion Free Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 224,448 Free Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, and Doctor Who's reputation is hard as nails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free Land of Apes's national animal is the Alpine Ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Free Land of Apes is ranked 2,030th in the world and 93rd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 144.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
