The Grand Duchy of Malbaracca is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 224 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 40.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Baraccan economy, worth 19.6 trillion racs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,645 racs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war, war criminals are given full state funerals, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Crime is totally unknown. Malbaracca's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Malbaracca is ranked 36,055^th in the world and 863^rd in The North Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 50.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
