The Imperial Technarchy of New Apperon is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Technarch Deepwells III with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.874 billion Apperonese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ascendance. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Apperonese economy, worth a remarkable 9,050 trillion Encens 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 395,667 Encens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and military officers are given medals for disobeying orders. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Apperon's national animal is the Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Neo-Newtonianism.

New Apperon is ranked 580^th in the world and 6^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 191.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
