The Armed Republic of Mapleleaves1 is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, digital currency, and absence of drug laws. The devout population of 3.046 billion Mapleleaves1ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 34.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mapleleaves1ian economy, worth 132 trillion forks a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,464 forks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The police force is on a recruitment drive, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mapleleaves1's national animal is the Militarized Penguin.

Mapleleaves1 is ranked 175,261^st in the world and 2^nd in Waypoint London for Largest Populations, with 3.05 billion capita.
