The Free Land of Ores Malainty is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.232 billion Ores Malaintyians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ores Malaintyian economy, worth 362 trillion sovereigns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 162,287 sovereigns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, museums claim to have displayed famous artwork before it was cool, nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, and behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos. Crime is totally unknown. Ores Malainty's national animal is the flamingo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ores Malainty is ranked 317,541^st in the world and 38^th in Nevadia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 21.19 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
