The Queendom of Maala is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.812 billion Maalans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The strong Maalan economy, worth 866 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,532 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 350,361 per year while the poor average 2,768, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Maala's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Maala is ranked 28,726^th in the world and 2^nd in Orient for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
