The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory vegetarianism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.55 billion AppleJackyians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canterlot. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient AppleJackyian economy, worth an astonishing 10,789 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 439,483 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spiritual tourists meditate in the ruins of AppleJackyian cathedrals, teen parties are often ruined by wet blanket chaperones, money grows on trees, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AppleJacky's national animal is the Doge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ponyism.

AppleJacky is ranked 31st in the world and 1st in Papastan for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 47,399.27 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
