The Republic of Maplefield is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 145 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 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Maplefieldian economy, worth 5.44 trillion Maple Syrups a year, is fairly diversified and 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 37,546 Maple Syrups, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. 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 306,346^th in the world and 88^th in Sancturia for Largest Black Market, with 11.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
