The Sea of Luminescent Sparks of Apabeossie is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Iris Haizel with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.817 billion Apavissians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sardilla. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Apavi economy, worth a remarkable 3,273 trillion eilives a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 236,893 eilives, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is something rotten in the state of Apabeossie, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Apabeossie's national animal is the Croian everlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Apabeossie is ranked 2,248^th in the world and 54^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 247 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
