The Armed Republic of The Appalachians is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Genghis Stalin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.358 billion Appalachianers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Appalachia. The average income tax rate is 81.9%.
The Appalachian economy, worth 99.2 trillion Appalachian Francs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,038 Appalachian Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
Politicians are fired for opening subjective statements with "I believe", there's no escape from the rule of law... or police brutality, politicians literally speak literally, and boom-and-bust cycles are being peddled as economically inevitable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Appalachians's national animal is the Monke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Appalachian Genghinism.
The Appalachians is ranked 289,797th in the world and 6,353rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 35 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
