The Federal Monarchy of Mallardias is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Floris XIII of Malarddeend with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning Duck population. The hard-working population of 1.123 billion Anastasians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kwakeveld. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.9%.

The strong Anastasian economy, worth 64.2 trillion Anas Guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 57,135 Anas Guilders, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Produce markets have tanked in pursuit of the perfect potato, graffiti graces every city's streets, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime is moderate. Mallardias's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mallardias is ranked 260,391^st in the world and 3,250^th in The East Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 489.42 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
