The Armed Republic of Mapleleaves9 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning militarized penguin population. The hard-working population of 2.257 billion Mapleleaves9ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.4%.

The Mapleleaves9ian economy, worth 110 trillion forks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,791 forks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mapleleaves9's national animal is the militarized penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mapleleaves9 is ranked 185,218^th in the world and 6^th in Nesapo for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,245.3 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
