The Levantine Federation of Maalik is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Jade Oblongata with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 5.696 billion Maalikians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al-Quds. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Maalikian economy, worth 195 trillion Palestinian dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 34,385 Palestinian dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Al-Quds Times is sold out, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and ants are charged with crimes against humanity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maalik's national animal is the Gazelle and its national religion is Maaliki Islam.

Maalik is ranked 185,222^nd in the world and 2^nd in Palestine for Fattest Citizens, with 9.58 Obesity Rate.
