The Dictatorship of Free Malla is a large, safe nation, notable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 184 million Free Mallans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Free Mallan economy, worth 1.81 trillion rubles 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 9,811 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Malla's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Malla is ranked 180,040^th in the world and 4^th in Astragrad for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 352.01 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
