“Success is commemmorated; Failure merely remembered.”

The LawL States of Ordo Mallus is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.157 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.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defence. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, Ordo Mallus's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, and government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Ordo Mallus's national animal is the aquilia, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the credit.

Ordo Mallus is ranked 81st in the region and 21,159th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
