The Matriarchy of Maintain is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 28.386 billion Maintainians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The strong Maintainian economy, worth a remarkable 1,269 trillion Marks a year, is dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 44,719 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is relatively low. Maintain's national animal is the monkey.

Maintain is ranked 13,011^th in the world and 9^th in Canada for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,045.03 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
