The Federal States of Maligard is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Janos with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.652 billion Maligardians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maligardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,912 trillion Crypsars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 220,994 Crypsars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Conspiracy theorists allege New Alexandria's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, the explosive fireball of the disintegrating space shuttle has devastated Cape Maligard, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and crime pays. Crime is totally unknown. Maligard's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nordic Pantheon.

Maligard is ranked 247,626th in the world and 300th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Conservative, scoring 31.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
