In NationStates
The Legend of East Malaysia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Justin Jung with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working population of 24.93 billion East Malaysians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Social Policy also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eastrovia. The average income tax rate is 91.8%.
The all-consuming East Malaysian economy, worth a remarkable 2,666 trillion EM$s a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 106,958 EM$s, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
People regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Eastrovia for fear of causing a fuss, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Malaysia's national animal is the East Malay Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Prophecies.
