The Republic of Maple Islands is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by democratically elected government with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.392 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, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. 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 5,012 trillion Loonies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 245,789 Loonies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students abandon classrooms for online education, the media seems excessively interested in what democratically elected government is wearing this season, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, and bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination". 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 1,121^st in the world and 5^th in Canada for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 78.84 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
