The Grand Duchy of Malbaracca is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 165 million Baraccanes enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Baraccan economy, worth 14.3 trillion racs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,568 racs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, Air Malbaracca is rumored to receive more government funding than the Baraccan Air Force, patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work, and most pop videos prominently feature the Baraccan flag. Crime is totally unknown. Malbaracca's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Malbaracca is ranked 34,393^rd in the world and 854^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,502.68 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
