The Democratic States of Maolea is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Cheetah population. The hard-working, democratic population of 218 million Maoleans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.5%.

The strong Maolean economy, worth 11.9 trillion Maozeses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,745 Maozeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing. Crime is relatively low. Maolea's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maolea is ranked 85,702^nd in the world and 69^th in Benigtopia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,430.79 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
