The Greater Mapletia Union of Mapletish is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Wiston Walash with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 20.37 billion Mapletians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Struggait. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Maplish economy, worth a remarkable 4,773 trillion Mapletish Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 234,344 Mapletish Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

President Wiston Walash always arrives fashionably late and smelling of mushrooms, unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, and old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation. Crime is totally unknown. Mapletish's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Faith.

Mapletish is ranked 84,865th in the world and 51st in Rushmore for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 54.72 Effective Tax Rate.
