The Principality of Malandian is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 99 million Malandianians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The strong Malandianian economy, worth 6.38 trillion Maldians a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 64,445 Maldians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Malandian's national animal is the Dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Malandian is ranked 101,775^th in the world and 38^th in Mauravia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,255.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
