The Grand Duchy of Malbaracca is a large, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 172 million Baraccanes enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Baraccan economy, worth 14.9 trillion racs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,615 racs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Air Malbaracca is rumored to receive more government funding than the Baraccan Air Force, patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work, most pop videos prominently feature the Baraccan flag, and doctors refer to inner-cities as newbie zones. Crime is totally unknown. Malbaracca's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Malbaracca is ranked 24,353^rd in the world and 763^rd in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 21.52 average smiles per day.
