The Republic of Maytree 21 is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-working, democratic population of 419 million Maytree 21ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The very strong Maytree 21ian economy, worth 24.0 trillion stences a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Average income is 57,369 stences, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,431 per year while the poor average 15,793, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Organ donation is compulsory, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Harry Potter books are banned, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maytree 21's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Maytree 21 is ranked 256,741^st in the world and 301^st in House Boucher for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 104.3 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
