The Apple People of Occupied Earth is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 10.123 billion Occupied Earthians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Occupied Earthian economy, worth 127 trillion World Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 12,627 World Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Occupied Earth's national animal is the Bird with Wings, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Occupied Earth is ranked 311,186^th in the world and 8^th in Discordia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,068.59 Standard Monetary Units.
