The Democratic Meritocracy of Aportistopireistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Hugh with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.461 billion Aportistos are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dormeadow City. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Aportisto economy, worth 494 trillion cupids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 142,942 cupids, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun, and flamethrower-toting soldiers are also equipped with fire blankets and extinguishers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aportistopireistan's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Aportistopireistan is ranked 10,437^th in the world and 31^st in Wintreath for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,775.5 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
