Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Constitutional Monarchy of Iskandar Malaysia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Tuanku Iskandar Isa with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 3.563 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iskandar Malaysia Metropolitan City. The average income tax rate is 94%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Tourism.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, refugees from other nations are flocking to Iskandar Malaysia's border, the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iskandar Malaysia's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Islam Sunni, and its currency is the Ringgit Pound.

Iskandar Malaysia is ranked 1,102nd in the Rejected Realms and 63,351st in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring 22 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
