The Republic of Maytree 7 is a very large, safe nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 459 million Maytree 7ians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Maytree 7ian economy, worth 14.5 trillion stences a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,670 stences, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, organ donation is compulsory, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maytree 7's national animal is the lion.

Maytree 7 is ranked 252,155^th in the world and 207^th in House Boucher for Most Cultured, scoring 63 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
