The Republic of Maloke is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.947 billion Malokeans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The thriving Malokean economy, worth 230 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 78,283 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 277,100 per year while the poor average 15,968, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Maloke's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Maloke is ranked 258,090^th in the world and 9,382^nd in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 14.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
