The Holy Orthodox Monocracy of Malstha is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by His Holy Pikeness with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.215 billion Nalarites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosencrantz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Billmakire economy, worth 113 trillion Billmaks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 93,090 Billmaks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 347,919 per year while the poor average 17,444, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.

Mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and the Basilisk stadiums are open 24/7. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Malstha's national animal is the Basilisk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Malstha is ranked 181,251st in the world and 140th in Covenant Shores for Most Primitive, scoring -64.93 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
