The Federal Union of Mality is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Council President Kieran Well with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.592 billion Malitians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kotalia. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Malitian economy, worth 195 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 75,270 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mality's national animal is the double-headed eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Mality is ranked 82,110^th in the world and 1,612^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 19.94 flags saluted per person per day.
