The Matriarchy of Mallatrovia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Decentralized country with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.705 billion Mallatrovites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sumerlos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mallatrovite economy, worth 300 trillion Supatraans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 176,194 Supatraans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 628,104 per year while the poor average 35,550, a ratio of 17.7 to 1.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, cities are engulfed by smog, and corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mallatrovia's national animal is the Mallatrovite scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Sacred Feminine.

Mallatrovia is ranked 34,104^th in the world and 36^th in Aesica for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 233.73 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
