The Dwarven Keep of Malcholm is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Boros Battleheart with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 17.873 billion Malcholmians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holmsdeep. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Malcholmian economy, worth a remarkable 2,034 trillion Skölds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,842 Skölds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lending money has become a major liability, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, and the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malcholm's national animal is the Duergar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Malcholm is ranked 59,515th in the world and 2nd in The Mystical Alliance for Most Stationary, with 769.5115908456 days.
