The Republic of Maple Islands is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by democratically elected government with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.296 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, 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 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Maple Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,989 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 245,840 Loonies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. 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 287,829^th in the world and 144^th in Canada for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,687.61 Standard Monetary Units.
