The Republic of Malaxa is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, infamous sell-swords, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 284 million Malaxans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bumbershoot. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.8%.

The powerhouse Malaxan economy, worth 27.6 trillion Funts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,112 Funts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,061 per year while the poor average 26,465, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Pet owners exercise their Banana Slugs at a snail's pace or risk prosecution, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, epidemiologists happily announce that the reported incidence of depression is close to zero percent, and dandruff and athlete's foot are seen as signs of physical beauty. Crime is totally unknown. Malaxa's national animal is the Banana Slug, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Malaxa is ranked 120,515^th in the world and 434^th in Europeia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,511.1 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
