The Republic of Malviland is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 32 million Malvilandeses enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Malvilandian economy, worth 1.48 trillion Rhans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,122 Rhans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government finds the idea of having an army to be rather distasteful, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, the government has been criticized for giving away Malviland's territory to anyone who claims it, and a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon. Crime is well under control. Malviland's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Malviland is ranked 119,953^rd in the world and 18^th in Ceredigion Newydd for Safest, scoring 73.48 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
