The Grand Duchy of Malvekia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dubont Stilwell with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.046 billion Malvekians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sol Malvekia. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Malvekian economy, worth 480 trillion Malvekian Shillings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,879 Malvekian Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malvekia's national animal is the Mountain Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sanguis Christianity.

Malvekia is ranked 287,325th in the world and 5,069th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.37 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
