The Empire of Malazan Empire is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 15.061 billion Malazan Empireans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.1%.

The strong Malazan Empirean economy, worth 934 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 62,057 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malazan Empire's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Malazan Empire is ranked 122,872^nd in the world and 3^rd in The Mystical Alliance for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
