The State of Malpeque is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working population of 46.896 billion Malpequeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 39.4%.

The strong Malpequean economy, worth a remarkable 2,824 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,236 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Replacement organs are grown in vats, parents are fined for sending their children to take out the trash after sunset, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Malpeque's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Malpeque is ranked 254,913^th in the world and 1^st in Ventura for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.58 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
