The Democratic Republic of Mapico is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Leafy with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.005 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rain. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mapicoan economy, worth 315 trillion Maps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 157,308 Maps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tiger is one of the most popular forenames in Mapico, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, and children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work. 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 20,742^nd in the world and 749^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
