The Borderlands of Malaklandia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.69 billion Malaklandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Malaklandian economy, worth 25.1 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 9,339 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, soldiers have swapped their uniforms for prisonwear, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malaklandia's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Malaklandia is ranked 259,336^th in the world and 10,949^th in Osiris for Highest Poor Incomes, with 9,160.22 Standard Monetary Units.
