The Kingdom of Malchalar is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Alex with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.266 billion Malchalarians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Baypolis. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Malchalarian economy, worth 673 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 157,896 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students in Malchalar's schools rarely attend their classes, skateparks can be found in every city, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, and the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Malchalar's national animal is the Gecko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Malchalar is ranked 29,858^th in the world and 419^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,400.9 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
