The Greater Mapletia Union of Mapletish is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Wiston Walash with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 18.754 billion Mapletians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Struggait. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Maplish economy, worth a remarkable 4,228 trillion Mapletish Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 225,472 Mapletish Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.
Members of ethnic minorities are more often called "boy" or "girl" than by their actual names, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, and Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame. Crime is totally unknown. Mapletish's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Faith.
Mapletish is ranked 284,276th in the world and 96th in Rushmore for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -18.17 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
