The Grand Duchy of Malvekia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dubont Stilwell with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.053 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 medium-sized, 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 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Malvekian economy, worth 483 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 158,231 Malvekian Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, engaged partners detail their fiancés' private lives in detail to prurient bureaucrats, and books are so highly regarded in Malvekia that libraries are often revered as holy shrines. 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 6,940^th in the world and 194^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,960.46 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
