The Allied States of MALKIALAND is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 276 million MALKIALANDians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The MALKIALANDian economy, worth 16.1 trillion DOLLARS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 58,319 DOLLARS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, the property market is in a bit of a state, and the MALKIALAND Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MALKIALAND's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

MALKIALAND is ranked 51,780^th in the world and 1,265^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 16.66 average smiles per day.
