The Empire of Mapolia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Gojo with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.214 billion Mapolians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maples. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mapolian economy, worth 134 trillion mapolien dollers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,097 mapolien dollers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Mapolia has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, sworn provincial enemies must be held back in Emperor Gojo's cabinet meetings, foreign powers often deal with problems that Mapolia can't handle, and for 25 mapolien dollers tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mapolia's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mapolia is ranked 293,346^th in the world and 110^th in Eladria for Largest Black Market, with 32.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
