The Federal Democratic Republic of Mapperdonia is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.563 billion Mapperdons 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 Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ortelius. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mapperdonian economy, worth a remarkable 5,164 trillion Mapperdon dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 380,760 Mapperdon dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, voters are one of the nation's top imports, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is totally unknown. Mapperdonia's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Technoreligion.
