The Russian Empire of Maplestan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Alexey I with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.61 billion Russians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sankt-Peterburg. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Russian economy, worth a remarkable 5,907 trillion Rubles a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 240,030 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's a comma comma comma comma comma rebellion, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, flowering peace lilies are the best defence against Maplestan's military, and owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maplestan's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Maplestan is ranked 948th in the world and 2nd in Pax Britannia for Most Cultured, scoring 378 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
