The All Engulfing Malevolence of Malevolent Intentions is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Zhukov with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.4 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stalingrad. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, euthanasia is legal, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malevolent Intentions's national animal is the bimbo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the silver bullet.

Malevolent Intentions is ranked 4th in War and 88,550th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -21 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
