The Democratic Republic of Mapico is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Leafy with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 3.232 billion Mapicoans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rain. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mapicoan economy, worth 504 trillion Maps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,046 Maps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's more than one way to skin a diplomat, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, 'Police Academy 36' and 'Sharknados On A Plane' are vying for top spot at the box-office, and the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mapico's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mapico is ranked 207,877^th in the world and 7,023^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 24 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
