The Hi Men of Maidenhood is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, enslaved workforce, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.271 billion Maidenhoodians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 35.4%.

The Maidenhoodian economy, worth 578 trillion silvers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,310 silvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, and pocket dialling is a criminal offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maidenhood's national animal is the spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Maidenhood is ranked 153,383rd in the world and 1,435th in Artificial Solar System for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 541.59 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
