The Republic of Appalachya 63 is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.11 billion Appalachya 63ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Appalachya 63ian economy, worth 78.3 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 70,535 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 265,101 per year while the poor average 13,101, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Appalachya 63's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Appalachya 63 is ranked 233,192^nd in the world and 1^st in Paris Commune for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
