The Republic of Maplefield is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 116 million Maplefieldians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 39.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Maplefieldian economy, worth 4.40 trillion Maple Syrups a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,935 Maple Syrups, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Umbrellas are back in fashion, moles make up an incredible part of the upper crust, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and corporate lobbying has been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maplefield's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maplefield is ranked 259,934^th in the world and 93^rd in Sancturia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,287.91 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
