The Federal Republic of Maphilindi is a huge, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and ritual sacrifices. The quiet, industrious population of 762 million Maphilindians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Janila. The average income tax rate is 19.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Maphilindian economy, worth 56.2 trillion Maphilindi Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 73,806 Maphilindi Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Maphilindian mussels the biggest in The North Pacific, and auditors are gutting every governmental department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Maphilindi's national animal is the Maphilindi Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Maphilindi is ranked 153,021^st in the world and 3,899^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,206.76 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
