The Grand Duchy of Malbaracca is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 285 million Baraccanes enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Baraccan economy, worth 26.8 trillion racs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 93,943 racs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime is totally unknown. Malbaracca's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Malbaracca is ranked 83,008^th in the world and 1,071^st in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,694.01 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
