The Malice of Kingsbane is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning malice population. The hard-working population of 7.555 billion Assassins 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kingsbanean economy, worth 323 trillion malices a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,709 malices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, Harry Potter books are banned, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and a shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingsbane's national animal is the malice, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kingsbane is ranked 259,012^th in the world and 1^st in The Kaisers for Most Developed, scoring 51.98 on the Human Development Index.
