The Meritocratic Technocrasy of Maverique is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Darrien Maverick with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 18.617 billion Maveriqueans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maverick Point. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maveriquean economy, worth a remarkable 6,044 trillion Drakes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 324,678 Drakes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Yawning is a sure sign of unemployment, scientists take credit every time it rains in Equilism, aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark, and cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maverique's national animal is the Silverback Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Atheism.

Maverique is ranked 434^th in the world and 2^nd in Equilism for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 12,532 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
