The Republic of Apsilia is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Black Widow population. The hard-working population of 13.489 billion Apsilians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.9%.

The Apsilian economy, worth 602 trillion apsars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 44,691 apsars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Apsilia's national animal is the Black Widow.

Apsilia is ranked 199,962^nd in the world and 23^rd in Asela for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
