The Democratic Republic of Mapico is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leafy with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 10.031 billion Mapicoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rain. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mapicoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,817 trillion Maps a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,211 Maps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leafy steals from the rich and gives to the needy, tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, and in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho). 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 4,160^th in the world and 97^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 121.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
