The Republic of Apologetic Fun is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.5 billion Apologetic Funians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Apologetic Funian economy, worth 575 trillion Apologetic Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,868 Apologetic Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Apologetic Fun's national animal is the Apologetic Animals, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
