The Borderlands of Malamute is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Feko with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.955 billion Malamutes enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Juneau. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Malamute economy, worth a remarkable 1,041 trillion Lakas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,260 Lakas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Juneau has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, Max Barry is this year's Miss Malamute, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malamute's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pizza.

Malamute is ranked 14,126^th in the world and 19^th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Most Developed, scoring 88.82 on the Human Development Index.
