The Grace and Precision of Maple 25 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its feral children, fear of technology, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.585 billion Maple 25ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Maple 25ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion planets a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,930 planets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Leader's throne, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maple 25's national animal is the puffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Maple 25 is ranked 303,358th in the world and 1,135th in Primitiveness for Most Pacifist, with 6.53 cheeks turned per day.
