OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Union of Maligard is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Richard Janos with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.347 billion Maligardians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Alexandria. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maligardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,969 trillion Crypsars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 210,662 Crypsars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The weather in New Alexandria is always 'pigeons with a chance of droppings', pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime is totally unknown. Maligard's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nordic Pantheon.

Maligard is ranked 93,622nd in the world and 3,321st in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,184.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
