The Grand Duchy of Undead Malavuk is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Duke Death with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, avowedly heterosexual populace, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 988 million Undead Malavukians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skull Throne. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Undead Malavukian economy, worth 203 trillion souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 205,764 souls, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,344,304 per year while the poor average 12,420, a ratio of 108 to 1.

Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, the statue in the Merkel Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, the zombie stadiums are open 24/7, and pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Undead Malavuk's national animal is the zombie, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Undead Malavuk is ranked 34,848^th in the world and 180^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,462.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
