The Community of Ymalta is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by God-Queen Maria with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.144 billion Ymaltans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sartoni. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ymaltan economy, worth 467 trillion maltis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 57,420 maltis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass, the government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and it's best to decline if God-Queen Maria offers to buy a round of drinks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ymalta's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Halthayism.

Ymalta is ranked 39,264th in the world and 520th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,154.99726080128 days.
