The People's Republic of APAF Command is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 6.447 billion APAF Officers are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouvelle-Orleans Air Base. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant an APAF officer economy, worth 62.1 trillion Acadian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,640 Acadian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and APAF Command has designated Nouvelle-Orleans Air Base as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. APAF Command's national animal is the pelican.

APAF Command is ranked 313,280^th in the world and 3^rd in Leningrad Airfield for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.44 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
