The Republic of Maplefield is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 355 million Maplefieldians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Maplefieldian economy, worth 11.0 trillion Maple Syrups a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,963 Maple Syrups, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visions of giant pink Moose are a common side effect after Maplefieldians eat their meals, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, you can't ask the government "you and whose army?" when they declare they're going to rob you, and pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maplefield's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maplefield is ranked 126,536^th in the world and 88^th in Sancturia for Longest Average Lifespans, with 71.64 years.
