The Maytree 44ian economy, worth 16.8 trillion stences a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology.

Organ donation is compulsory, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maytree 44's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
