The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory vegetarianism, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.156 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, Environment, and Administration. 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 a remarkable 5,318 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 extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 350,890 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prudishness is on the way out, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint. 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 445^th in the world and 3^rd in Papastan for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 101.42 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
