The New Order of Malazan Imperium is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by Emperor Zander Zane with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 16.333 billion Malazan Imperiumians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Public Transport, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.8%.

The strong Malazan Imperiumian economy, worth 735 trillion Jakatas a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,021 Jakatas, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Emperor Zander Zane has just been declared ruler of Malazan Imperium in an international press conference, school children are forced to sing the national anthem every morning, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Malazan Imperium's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Deck of Dragons.

Malazan Imperium is ranked 194,922^nd in the world and 1^st in The Regional Alliance for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.29 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
