The Republic of Malayang is a very large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 499 million Malaya are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katipunan. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Malay economy, worth 35.7 trillion Kuwaltas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 71,492 Kuwaltas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, and scientific ethics are on the chopping block. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malayang's national animal is the Native Rooster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Malayang is ranked 292,574^th in the world and 422^nd in The Communist Bloc for Fattest Citizens, with 5.45 Obesity Rate.
