“In Maple Syrup We Trust”

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

The Republic of Maplefield is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 75 million Maplefieldians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Maplefieldian economy, worth 2.91 trillion Maple Syrups a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,753 Maple Syrups, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, subsistence farmers require doctorates in applied sowing, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maplefield's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maplefield is ranked 184,552^nd in the world and 82^nd in Sancturia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 59.94 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
