The United Republic of Maeiland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Jonathan Laauw with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.442 billion Mæilanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mæimetro. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mæilandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,211 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,719 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, and returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maeiland's national animal is the Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maeiland is ranked 7,140^th in the world and 226^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,573.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
