The Iron Clad Dominion of Malatoga is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Roman Gorkov with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.328 billion Malatogans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Togonia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Malatogan economy, worth 867 trillion Malas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 260,762 Malas, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, milk often tastes of pea, chickens roam the streets freely, and scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Malatoga's national animal is the Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Panowism.

Malatoga is ranked 1,950^th in the world and 1^st in Ridgefield for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 833.04 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
