The Republic of Maytree 5 is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working population of 208 million Maytree 5ians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The very strong Maytree 5ian economy, worth 12.6 trillion stences a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,554 stences, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 190,190 per year while the poor average 14,761, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maytree 5's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Maytree 5 is ranked 215,542^nd in the world and 343^rd in House Boucher for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
