The Rogue Nation of Maple Syrup Importer is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Importer with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, avowedly heterosexual populace, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.795 billion Maple Syrup Importerians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maple Syrup Pumping Station. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Maple Syrup Importerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,455 trillion Maple Syrups a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 137,962 Maple Syrups, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The constant playing of Merry Birthday on Maple Syrup Importerian radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, science labs across the country languish in cobwebs as the government turns its attentions to spiritual matters, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, and one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for The Importer's office. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maple Syrup Importer's national animal is the Maple Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Maple Syrup.

Maple Syrup Importer is ranked 5,927th in the world and 1st in Holy Regime of the German Chocolate Cake for Most Stationary, with 2,983.66475712 days.
