The Dazzling Swordplay of Maple 7 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.724 billion Maple 7ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maple 7ian economy, worth 484 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,114 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Peer pressure from cooler world leaders directs Maple 7ian government policy, Maple 7ian Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock, government policies change at the drop of a rabbit, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maple 7's national animal is the puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Maple 7 is ranked 19,430^th in the world and 173^rd in Primitiveness for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,299.33 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
