The Meritocratic Technocrasy of Maverique is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Darrien Maverick with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 13.395 billion Maveriqueans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maverick Point. The average income tax rate is 61.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maveriquean economy, worth a remarkable 4,289 trillion Drakes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 320,218 Drakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The flesh-eating lost souls that wander at night serve as a major tourist attraction (Maverique has found 14 easter eggs), an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Darrien Maverick, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and children grow up believing the sun to be a myth. Crime is relatively low. Maverique's national animal is the Silverback Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Atheism.

Maverique is ranked 46,394^th in the world and 13^th in Equilism for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,369.13 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
