The Federation of Malorossi is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by President Oleg Anatolyevich Tsarev with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and keen interest in outer space. The cynical, devout population of 865 million Malorossians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Herson. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Malorossian economy, worth 49.3 trillion Rubs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 57,030 Rubs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, creative compliance measures ensure that high-ranking officials live in luxury while the country's coffers collect cobwebs, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, and cops with assault weaponry are forcing their way into private homes to search for terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malorossi's national animal is the Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Malorossi is ranked 137,184^th in the world and 7,217^th in Balder for Highest Average Incomes, with 57,030.79 Standard Monetary Units.
