“Strength of will triumphs over strength of arms”

The Grand Union of Malacovia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Arkoz Czeriy with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.3 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Social Equality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grân Malaco. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-malak mansions, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malacovia's national animal is the wolverine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the malak.

Malacovia is ranked 67th in the region and 3,379th in the world for Lowest Crime Rates.
