The Jingoistic States of Gideon Malick is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 17.172 billion Malickians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Gideon Malick economy, worth 55.4 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 3,225 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gideon Malick's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gideon Malick is ranked 177,193^rd in the world and 1^st in Maveth for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 60.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
