The Dictatorship of Apreerco is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Josev Parco with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, aversion to nipples, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.29 billion Apreercans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athaca. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Apreercoan economy, worth 110 trillion Silver Kavals a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,706 Silver Kavals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, auditors are gutting every governmental department, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and the military has gone fission for more funding. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apreerco's national animal is the Swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Apreerco is ranked 29,886^th in the world and 692^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
