The Republic of Maple Islands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by democratically elected government with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.148 billion Maple Islanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Maple Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,943 trillion Loonies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 245,339 Loonies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Maple Islandsian citizenship in droves. Crime is totally unknown. Maple Islands's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maple Islands is ranked 4,585th in the world and 14th in Canada for Most Stationary, with 3,381.6645024 days.
