The Phoenix-Human Aviandom of Malalonius is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Phoenix Mal and The Human Hawaa with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 1.037 billion Malalonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dubai. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Malalonian economy, worth 85.3 trillion Dhahabs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,290 Dhahabs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, heirs who take too long in the bathroom are declared missing and presumed dead, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malalonius's national animal is the Malalonian Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Malalonius is ranked 49,796th in the world and 5th in Hells Lounge for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 5,149.31 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
