The Republic of Maple Islands is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by democratically elected government with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.379 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 5,008 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.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, the children of Maple Islands are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, students abandon classrooms for online education, and the media seems excessively interested in what democratically elected government is wearing this season. 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 1,797^th in the world and 11^th in Canada for Safest, scoring 150.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
