21st century lore (too early for this imo -Bort)

After early years of turbulence, repeated border skirmishes with the EILF, lacking natural resources & a hinterland the nation rapidly developed itself in the earlier 2000's. This was partly through its own need for survival it managed to create a robust domestic industry using it as a basis to further develop itself. Eventually in the final years of the Malakkan state with more “Wartime” restrictions being removed it opened up its economy and began to rapidly develop into one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia. In the present it has one of the highest quality of life in the region and longest live expectancy and ranks high in the charts for education, healthcare quality of life, and personal safety, it also has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world. Malakka has been identified by many as a tax haven and a gambling mecca in the region using its neighbor’s stricter rule on gambling to its advantage.
