“Amity moreover Liberty.”

The Join the Forum Federation of South Malaysia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Maximilian Warwick Jr with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 9.431 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 juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Law & Order, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 89%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Malaysia's national animal is the South Malay Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the EMD.

South Malaysia is ranked 6th in the region and 6,269th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
