The Constitutional Republic of Malsovor is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Hans Ziggerman with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 3.508 billion Malsovorians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miren. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Malsovorian economy, worth 433 trillion Malosavorian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,503 Malosavorian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Malsovor to be bombproof, a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, and serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malsovor's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Malsovor is ranked 8,120^th in the world and 2^nd in The Sylvaran Pact for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,914.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
