The Republic of Apimenia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by CEO Helena Watts with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.362 billion Apimenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Menroth. The average income tax rate is 8.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Apimenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,144 trillion coppers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 136,809 coppers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, all streets are privately owned toll roads, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, and it turns out that money can buy you happiness. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Apimenia's national animal is the chimpanzee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Almighty Copper.

Apimenia is ranked 250,127^th in the world and 8,576^th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -152.46 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
