The State of Mapleridge is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 17.369 billion Mapleridgeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 25.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Mapleridgean economy, worth 346 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,965 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Mapleridge has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mapleridge's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mapleridge is ranked 49,729th in the world and 11th in Nevada for Most Stationary, with 910.40120900952 days.
