The Land of Malnota is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mr X with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, enforced nudity, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.985 billion Malnotans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business, outspoken individuals prioritizes Industry, with Social Policy also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Environment receive no funds. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Malnotan economy, worth 199 trillion Tokens a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is highly specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,013 Tokens, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The only place where one can see the Malnotan cherry tree is in a museum, law schools are hurrying to teach the "prank defense" to their students, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, and there's never a spare chair in the retirement home. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Malnota's national animal is the Badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Malnota is ranked 149,046^th in the world and 4,220^th in Chicken overlords for Largest Black Market, with 1.09 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
