The Confederacy of Maltonia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed population of 3.531 billion Maltonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Maltonian economy, worth 57.7 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 16,327 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, tourists on boat cruises can't figure out why they smell so fishy afterward, and fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maltonia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Maltonia is ranked 253,090^th in the world and 5^th in The Democratic Republic for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 519.03 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
