The Infinite Empire of Malachor VIII is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 13.946 billion Malachorians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mandalore. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Malachor VIIIian economy, worth 640 trillion Credits a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,895 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, and where there's a will there is usually a password manager. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Malachor VIII's national animal is the Malachorian Terror, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jediism.

Malachor VIII is ranked 242,040^th in the world and 2^nd in The Galactic Alliance for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.78 kickbacks per hour.
