The People's Republic of Mayewood is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.159 billion Mayewoodians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mayewoodian economy, worth 91.7 trillion Mays a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,089 Mays, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, watching shooting stars is Mayewoodians' number two favorite pastime, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and autocrats are persona non grata. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mayewood's national animal is the Caracal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mayewood is ranked 38,324^th in the world and 112^th in Concord for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,331.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
