The United Republic of Maeiland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Jonathan Laauw with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.023 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mæimetro. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mæilandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,955 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 177,406 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, it's said that President Jonathan Laauw can turn every pleasure into a chore, and the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists. 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 207,667^th in the world and 8,336^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -31.56 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
