The Agricultural Paradise of AppleJacky is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Applejack the Apple Queen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.027 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 6,894 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 382,470 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, Applejack the Apple Queen has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. 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 126th in the world and 2nd in Papastan for Smartest Citizens, with 421.73 quips per hour.
