The Principality of Maleno is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Philippe I with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 11.397 billion Malenoans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Relaneo. The average income tax rate is 56.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Malenoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,042 trillion Maleno dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,196 Maleno dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teenage boys are raving about how the latest AI assistant sounds exactly like a sexy movie star, government winter plans get a frosty reception, hammering a nail into a wall is an effective death sentence, and Malenoan police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maleno's national animal is the Malenoan swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Maleno is ranked 77,437^th in the world and 75^th in Karma for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 56.92 Effective Tax Rate.
