The Imperial Empire of Maleficenca is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Dialec with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.143 billion Starsmen are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moors City. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Starsman economy, worth 587 trillion Mor'smics a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,717 Mor'smics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, and insanely good theatre productions face government censorship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maleficenca's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Maleficenca is ranked 86,617^th in the world and 3,096^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 6.14 billion capita.
