The Republic of Maytree 43 is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 427 million Maytree 43ians 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, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 19.6%.

The strong Maytree 43ian economy, worth 19.7 trillion stences a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 46,082 stences, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, surveillance cameras are banned, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime is moderate. Maytree 43's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Maytree 43 is ranked 116,088^th in the world and 59^th in House Boucher for Highest Drug Use, scoring 145.29 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
