The Independent Maleonian States of Channel Union is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Provisional State Administration with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, digital currency, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.421 billion Maleonians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Solovikia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Maleonian economy, worth 291 trillion Maleocoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 205,236 Maleocoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,412,583 per year while the poor average 10,619, a ratio of 133 to 1.

Chewing tree bark proves to have limited value during childbirth, it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Channel Union's national animal is the Short-toed Snake-Eagle Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Channel Union is ranked 4,162^nd in the world and 57^th in the Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 260.77 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
