The Democratic Republic of Mapico is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leafy with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 1.815 billion Mapicoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rain. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mapicoan economy, worth 280 trillion Maps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,500 Maps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diaper sales are up, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, there's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, and the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mapico's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mapico is ranked 112,721^st in the world and 4,568^th in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.08 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
