The Nomadic Peoples of Malacious is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 670 million Malaciousians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maladia. The average income tax rate is 58.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Malaciousian economy, worth 25.8 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 quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. Average income is 38,481 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights, party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises, prudishness is on the way out, and waste collection professionals have been canned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malacious's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Malacious is ranked 186,489^th in the world and 232^nd in Aesica for Most Developed, scoring 53.67 on the Human Development Index.
