The Republic of Maple Islands

“Pax et Justitia”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Maple Islands is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Parliament and Prime Minister with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.423 billion Maple Islanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Maple Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 6,601 trillion Loonies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 259,671 Loonies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, students at universities think exercise bikes are pieces of abstract art, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide. Crime is totally unknown. Maple Islands's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maple Islands is ranked 5,532^nd in the world and 12^th in Canada for Highest Average Incomes, with 259,671.48 Standard Monetary Units.
