The State of The Malachenes is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.15 billion Malachenesians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Analamena. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.

The strong Malachenesian economy, worth 146 trillion Talleroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 68,217 Talleroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Mandarinfish, there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, group hugs break out during floor votes, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Malachenes's national animal is the Mandarinfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Malachenes is ranked 108,110^th in the world and 3^rd in Jumanji for Highest Average Incomes, with 68,217.27 Standard Monetary Units.
