The Republic of IApple is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Steve Jobs with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.668 billion iPeople enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of iCity. The average income tax rate is 21.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong iPeople economy, worth 611 trillion iPays a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 70,510 iPays, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, it's best not to ask what goes into ICity Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, and a third of iPeople are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. IApple's national animal is the iDog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is iReligion.

IApple is ranked 9,905^th in the world and 3^rd in Yecyma for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,843.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
