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

The Republic of Maple Islands is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by democratically elected government with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.254 billion Maple Islanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Maple Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,978 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 common. Average income is an amazing 245,802 Loonies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. 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 7,884^th in the world and 15^th in Canada for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
