The Allied States of MALKIALAND is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 337 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 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The MALKIALANDian economy, worth 18.8 trillion DOLLARS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 55,915 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 274,950^th in the world and 5,046^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.75 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
