The Grand Duchy of Malvekia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dubont Stilwell with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.133 billion Malvekians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, 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 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Malvekian economy, worth 499 trillion Malvekian Shillings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 159,551 Malvekian Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The number of judges has tripled in recent months, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, there is something rotten in the state of Malvekia, and Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame. 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 8,061^st in the world and 178^th in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 453.23 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
