The Economic Singularity of Empire of Malafar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by El Bozo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.259 billion Malafarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doffoos. The average income tax rate is 29.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Malafarian economy, worth 196 trillion Social Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,908 Social Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, the well-to-do in Balder are never on time for important appointments, and biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Malafar's national animal is the Oxtail Soup, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money-anity.

Empire of Malafar is ranked 151,714^th in the world and 6,220^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 57.69 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
