The Society of Malaching is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karcist Dutoit with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The devout population of 1.924 billion Corsicans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corte. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The local economy, worth 95.4 trillion fleuros a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,582 fleuros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many marriages go virtually unconsummated, bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters, foreigners write "made in Malaching" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out, and severed limbs litter woodland edges across the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malaching's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bloody Flower Sarkicism.

Malaching is ranked 56,083^rd in the world and 49^th in Eientei Gensokyo for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 133.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
