The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 50.7%.

The strong -Malenia-ian economy, worth 533 trillion runes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,998 runes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.
